Hadith 10369

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umarthat Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "No-one should leave the hajj until hehas done tawaf of the House, and tawaf of the House is the finalrite."Malik said, commenting about Umar ibn al-Khattab'ssaying 'tawaf of the House is the final rite,' "In our opinion, andAllah knows best, that is because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted,says, 'Whoever exalts the rituals of Allah - that is from the taqwa ofthe hearts' (Sura 22 ayat 32), and He says, 'Then their halal place(of sacrifice) is at the Ancient House,' and the place of all therituals and where they end is therefore at the Ancient House."
