A woman’s sa’y between the two hills
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do you respond to those who say that it is permissible for a woman to perform sa’y between the two hills because the first person to establish this sunnah (recommended practice) was Hajar (peace be upon her)?
Answer:
He says this is his own opinion; the scholars did not say this. A woman is weak and cannot run. A woman is weak, and Hajar did it out of necessity, to fulfill a need. So a woman is weak, and it is not obligatory for her to perform sa’y, meaning running between the two hills. It is not required of her, nor is it required for her to run in the valley. It is not required for her to climb Safa and Marwah because she is weak. Yes.
