Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When the one performing 'Umrah reaches the hill of al-Marwah at the end of the sa'y, is it obligatory for him to stand on the hill and make du'a', or is it permissible for him to leave directly without stopping to make du'a'?
Answer:
It is obligatory to cover the distance between al-Safa and al-Marwah, even if one does not climb them. Climbing al-Safa and al-Marwah is a recommended practice (sunnah), whereas covering the distance between them is obligatory and necessary. Yes, one concludes with what one began with; one concludes with du'a' just as one began with it. Yes.
