Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. You spoke to us about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Start with what Allah started with. What did Allah say? How did Allah start so that we may start?
Answer:
[Al-Baqarah 2:158] Allah began with al-Safa in the mention, so we begin with it in the action. This is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "Start with what Allah started with," meaning in the mention. Does he not recite the verse? [Al-Baqarah 2:158] He recites the verse, yes. Not at the beginning, at the beginning when he exits through the door of the prayer in the valley. If he says it, that is fine. If he says it in obedience, that is fine, yes. No, the first lap: he only exits through the door of al-Safa for the sa'y. When he exits for the sa'y, he recites the verse for the beginning only. Yes.

Answer:
Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِIndeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs 'umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing.
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
