Circumambulating the Ka'bah while riding in a vehicle, despite being able to walk: Is that sufficient?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Circumambulating the Ka'bah while riding in a vehicle, despite being able to walk, is that sufficient?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) circumambulated while riding. When the people crowded around him, he rode (peace and blessings be upon him) so that people could see him and to avoid the crowding. Yes, it is permissible to circumambulate while riding and to perform sa'y while riding. There is nothing wrong with doing it in a vehicle, on a camel, or in a car. Yes.
