Not Able to Leave Mecca After Tawaf Al-Wada'

A man performed the Hajj and made Tawaf Al-Wada' at night but was unable to leave Mecca after the Tawaf so remained in Mecca until the morning. Then he traveled. What is the ruling in this situation?

That which is legislated is that Tawaf Al-Wada' for one having performed Hajj should be just before his departure from Mecca, for that which is mentioned in the Hadith of Ibn 'Abbas which is agreed upon both by Imam Al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim:

"The people have been commanded that their last act (before departure) should be (Tawaf ) around the House (Ka'bah) except for the menstruating woman."

So, as long as he made Tawaf with the intention to depart at night and was unable to do so until morning, then there is nothing upon him in regard to that, insha'Allah.

And if he were to repeat Tawaf Al-Wada' before actually departing, then this is better.

And with Allah lies all the success, and may Allah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) and his family and his companions.
