Is the farewell tawaf still valid if a person falls asleep after performing it while waiting for transport to leave Makkah?
Short answer
A pilgrim who falls asleep after the farewell tawaf while waiting for transport does not need to repeat it, and the tawaf remains valid.

Summary
A pilgrim who falls asleep after the farewell tawaf while waiting for transport does not need to repeat it, and the tawaf remains valid. This situation relates to travel preparations and does not meet the criteria of staying for a long period in the sacred precinct. Pilgrims must still leave Makkah promptly and avoid activities that delay departure, such as relaxing or shopping. If the transport is known to arrive late, it is better to delay the farewell tawaf slightly.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, bagi jemaah haji yang tertidur disebabkan menunggu kenderaan sampai selepas mengerjakan tawaf wada' tidak perlu mengulangi ibadat tawaf tersebut.
