The ruling on tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) when the courtyard of the tawaf is crowded and people enter the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father. A questioner says: If the courtyard of the tawaf becomes crowded and people enter the sa'y area because of the intensity of the crowding, is it permissible for them to perform tawaf?
Answer:
It is permissible if they circle the Holy Ka'bah. As long as they complete a circuit around the Holy Ka'bah, it counts as one of the circuits. They complete it whether they are close to the Ka'bah, at the far end of the mosque, on the ground floor, or on the second or third floor. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
