It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: When any of you departs (from Makkah), his last act should be the tawaf of the House (the farewell tawaf), except for menstruating women, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them a concession in this. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
