Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair said that whoever has performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah (Tawaf al-Ziyarah), Allah has completed his Hajj. Now, if there is nothing preventing him, he should perform the Tawaf al-Wada' at the time of departure, and if there is any hindrance or excuse, then the Hajj is already complete.

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person did not know the ruling regarding the Farewell Tawaf, and he returned from Makkah without performing the Farewell Tawaf, then it is not obligatory for him to return, except in the case that he is near Makkah, then he should return and perform the Tawaf, provided that he has already performed the Tawaf al-Ziyarah.
