Answer
The words, ?Allah Hafiz? and Khudda Hafiz? are Du?aas commonly used for saying ?Allah protect you.?
There is no wrong in bidding farewell to someone in this manner. However, it would be better if one learns the Sunnat Du?aa and method of saying farewell, that is, ?Astawdi-u llaaha deenakum wa khawaateema a?amaalikum?
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
