Performing Sa'y Before Tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice

Question:
Is it permissible to perform the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) on the same day, the Day of Sacrifice?

Answer:
No, the sa'y is after the tawaf. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform the sa'y except after the tawaf. However, he was asked on the Day of 'Id. A man asked him, saying: "I performed the sa'y, I did not realize, I performed the sa'y before I performed the tawaf." He said: There is no harm. This is specific to the Day of 'Id. He was not asked about this day, as in the hadith, he was not asked about this day, meaning the Day of 'Id, about anything being brought forward or delayed except that he said: Yes.
