We circumambulated after the Fajr prayer and then performed the sa'y. Is there anything required of us?

Question:
The questioner asks and says: In the past Ramadan, we went to perform the 'Umrah. When we arrived at al-Masjid al-Haram, we sat to perform the greeting of the mosque, then we sat for a while, then we prayed a voluntary prayer, then we prayed the Fajr prayer. We circumambulated, and then we performed the sa'y, but we added to the sa'y. Is there anything required of us regarding that? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good. It is better for the one who comes to Makkah to begin with the tawaf.

Answer:
He begins with the tawaf because it is the greeting of the Ka'bah for the one who arrives; this is what is best. Then he prays two rak'ahs after the tawaf, the two rak'ahs of the tawaf. If he is tired or the place is crowded, and he prays two rak'ahs in the mosque and sits to rest, or if he encounters the time of an obligatory prayer and prays it, then circumambulates after that, there is no harm in that. Beginning early is better if it is facilitated, and if it is not facilitated, there is no harm in delaying it. So what you did, there is no harm in it, praise be to Allah. As for the addition in the sa'y, the sa'y is seven circuits, beginning from al-Safa and ending at al-Marwah. His going from al-Safa to al-Marwah is his sa'y, and his return from al-Marwah to al-Safa is his second sa'y, until he completes seven. If he adds to it, this does not affect the sa'y; the sa'y is valid, and the addition is of no account, praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good and do you well.
