Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another section in his letter in which he asks: Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling on performing tawaf and sa'y while riding without an excuse?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) while riding to make it clear to the people that it is permissible. Therefore, it is permissible to perform tawaf while riding in a vehicle or being carried on people's shoulders in a litter. Likewise, for sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), one may do it in a vehicle, on a suitable mount, or in a litter on people's heads. All of this is permissible. Yes.
