Without Validating the scope, and having the deliverables accepted you can't close the project or phase.
Validating scope is basically assuring that a product, service, or system meets the needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders. It often involves acceptance and suitability with external customers. The Close Project or Phase process occurs at the end of a phase when the customer accepts an entire set of deliverables and formally signs off that the phase is complete — or, in the case of the project, signs off that all deliverables are complete and accepted, and then the project can move into project closure. ...

Thank You Rami Kaibni :)
You may need to think over what the process is. In extremely rare scenario in a project, you can open the door and get out because you haven't included "Close Project Process" in your project management plan. In general, all projects define their procedures to close the project in the management plans, which might include activities of handing over deliverables, collecting and analyzing feedbacks from stakeholders, preparing and communicating final report, closing any administrative and financial requirements, capturing and documenting the project lessons learned, evaluating and releasing team members etc. as per the organizational and regulatory requirements.
Validate Scope is the process of formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables. The key benefit of this process is that it brings objectivity to the acceptance process and increases the chance of final product, service, or result acceptance by validating each deliverable.
Close Project or Phase is the process of finalizing all activities across all of the Project Management Process Groups to formally complete the project or phase. The key benefit of this process is that it provides lessons learned, the formal ending of project work, and the release of organization resources to pursue new endeavors. **Reference: PMBOK® Guide—Fifth Edition ...

Thank you Anupam
Of course, it is necessary to validate the scope before closing a project (for a standard project). I would agree with Rami, Anupam and Sungjoon. One may call it by different name, but won't a customer like to verify the correctness of the product/service for acceptance or rather the end result satisfies the scope of the project. The degree of performing necessary steps might vary from project to project but I would say it is necessary for acceptance.
Fully agree with Rami
