Performing Sa'y Before Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if a pilgrim performs the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), is that sufficient?
Answer:
No. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the tawaf first, then the sa'y. He passed the tawaf area, passed the sa'y area, entered the Sacred Mosque, passed the sa'y area, and proceeded into the interior of the Sacred Mosque to perform the tawaf. So the tawaf is performed before the sa'y. Yes.
