The farewell circumambulation (Tawaf al-Wada') occurs after completing all rituals and affairs in Mecca, and it must be followed immediately by departure, except in cases of necessity. If one stays after it without a valid excuse or for a reason other than departure-related matters, the circumambulation must be repeated. Therefore, whoever performs the farewell circumambulation and then stays for two days in Mecca before departing without repeating the circumambulation has abandoned an obligatory act and is liable for a compensatory sacrifice (dam).
