Question:
A questioner says: A man performed seven circuits of tawaf, then began the sa'y from al-Marwah. What is the ruling on his 'Umrah?
Answer:
If he began the sa'y from al-Marwah, the portion of that lap that has passed from al-Marwah to al-Safa is mere idle movement and does not count as one of the laps. He must complete seven laps, each of which begins at al-Safa and ends at al-Marwah. As for the lap that began at al-Marwah, going from al-Marwah to al-Safa, that is idle movement and is not counted in the number.
The beginning is from al-Safa. One starts from al-Safa and moves back and forth between it and al-Marwah seven times, beginning with al-Safa and ending with al-Marwah. This is the correct sa'y. As for beginning from al-Marwah, that is not correct; the first lap is not correct.
