We see in the Sacred Mosque people performing sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), while the imam is on the minbar delivering the khutbah (sermon) on Friday. How do you direct the people?

Question:
We see in the Sacred Mosque many of the brothers performing tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) around the Sacred House, and we also see them performing sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) between al-Safa and al-Marwah, while the imam is on the minbar delivering the khutbah (sermon) on Friday. How do you direct the people?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, because tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) is an independent act of worship, and no one is prevented from it at any time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O sons of 'Abd Manaf, do not prevent anyone who has performed tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) around this House and prayed, at any hour of the night or day." And because Allah the Exalted said to His intimate friend Ibrahim (peace be upon him):[Al-Hajj 22:26] and those who stay in the mosque [Al-Baqarah 2:125], and in the other verse it is stated that [Al-Hajj 22:26], so the circumambulators were mentioned before the bowers and prostrators, and before the standing. This indicates that whoever wants to perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) around the House, he is enabled to do so. Yes.

and purify My House for those who perform Tawaf
وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَPurify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."
أَن طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِand purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.
وَطَهِّرْ بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْقَائِمِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ
