Adding to the common mistakes we have mentioned before about circumambulating the Ka`bah, we’d like to draw people’s attention to some other mistakes that are committed in Farewell Circumambulation (Tawaf) around the Ka`bah:  

1- Some pilgrims leave Mina on the Day of Nafr (12th or 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) to perform Farewell Tawaf around the Ka`bah and then return back to Mina to throw the stones at the devil (part of Hajj rituals) and then go back home therefrom. Hence stoning the devil would be the last thing pilgrims do before departing the Sacred Land, but the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “None should leave Makkah after performing the pilgrimage unless he has made Farewell Tawaf the last of his Hajj rituals.”

So Farewell Tawaf should be the last Hajj ritual to be performed by pilgrims before leaving.

2- Some pilgrims get out of the Sacred Mosque with their faces turned towards the Ka`bah, thinking that doing so they are glorifying it. Yet this is a sheer innovative act in Islam.

3- After finishing Farewell Tawaf, some pilgrims turn towards the Ka`bah while getting out of the doors of the Sacred Mosque reciting some prayers as if bidding farewell to it. Yet this is a baseless act in Islam.

4- Some pilgrims neglect performing Farewell Tawaf just out of laziness. However, it is impermissible for women during their menstrual or postnatal period to perform Tawaf, they’d rather escape it.
