Specifying the Niyyah (Intention) for Tawaaf-e-Wadaa

Q: Is it compulsory to specify the niyyah when performing Tawaaf-e-Wadaa?

A: No, it is not compulsory for one to make the niyyah that he is performing Tawaaf-e-Wadaa in order for the Tawaaf-e-Wadaa to be valid. 

If a person performed a few tawaafs after Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah, then the last tawaaf he performed before departure will be regarded as Tawaaf-e-Wadaa, even though he did not make the intention of Tawaaf-e-Wadaa.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
