The ruling on tawaf if the one performing tawaf enters the sa'y area
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man sent a message to you. He went to the Sacred House in 'Urwah, and upon reaching the sa'y, he entered it due to the heavy crowd, then he completed the tawaf. Is there any harm in that? He performed tawaf at the Sacred House for 'Umrah, and upon reaching the sa'y.
The Shaykh:
The sa'y area means, upon reaching the sa'y area, he entered it due to the crowd. This does not validate his tawaf; this lap is not valid because it is outside the mosque, as the sa'y area is an independent sanctuary. He must come and perform a lap in place of the one in which part of it was in the sa'y area, because it is a condition for tawaf that it be inside the Sacred Mosque, and the sa'y area is outside the Sacred Mosque, as it is an independent sanctuary.
The questioner:
And are al-Safa and al-Marwah inside the forbidden boundaries?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the whole thing is the sa'y area. The sa'y begins from al-Safa and ends at al-Marwah, and al-Marwah and al-Safa are among the symbols of Allah, two sanctuaries among the symbols of Allah, and what is between them is the place of sa'y. Yes.
