The ruling on performing sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) of Ifadah for the one performing tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them)

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man performed Hajj as a mutamatti' (one performing tamattu'), and he performed the sa'y on the Day of Sacrifice before the tawaf of Ifadah. Is his action valid?

Answer:
No. For the mutamatti', the sa'y is after the tawaf of Ifadah. The sa'y he did for the women after the tawaf of 'Umrah was for the 'Umrah. He owes a tawaf and a sa'y for the 'Umrah, and he owes a tawaf and a sa'y for the Hajj. In both cases, the sa'y must be after the tawaf, because this is the practice of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "Take from me your rituals," and it is not established that he performed the sa'y before the tawaf. Rather, the consistent and known practice from the Sunnah is that he would perform the tawaf, then perform the sa'y. Yes.
