Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is idhtiba' during sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah prescribed?

Answer:
No, idhtiba' is for the first tawaf of 'Umrah or Hajj. This idhtiba' between al-Safa and al-Marwah is not prescribed, and likewise for the tawaf al-ifadah if he is in ihram; it is not prescribed. It is only for the first tawaf, the first one when he arrives for 'Umrah or Hajj, the tawaf al-qudum for Hajj or the tawaf of 'Umrah. This is where idhtiba' is prescribed. He starts from the first lap and ends with the last lap.
Yes, because we see some people always in idhtiba', even in prayer. This is not prescribed. Idhtiba' is only for the first tawaf, from its beginning to its end. When the last lap is finished, he puts his garment back in its normal position on his shoulders, covering his back and his stomach, because this is more beautiful and better for him. Yes.
