Tawaf
Do I need a farewell tawaf after Umrah?
The farewell tawaf is necessary after Hajj but not after Umrah in the Hanafi school. It is still good to make a farewell tawaf before you leave Makkah.
The Hanafi position
In the Hanafi school the farewell tawaf is necessary after Hajj, but it is not necessary after Umrah. Your Umrah is complete once you have shaved or shortened your hair.
Still good to do
It is still good to make a farewell tawaf before you leave Makkah. Many scholars encourage those staying in Makkah to spend more time in voluntary tawaf.
