The Ruling on Tawaf in the Sa'y Area

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), may Allah keep you safe, is around the House in the cooking area. And the tawaf is for seeking help. He speaks about the tawaf.

Answer:
No, a tawaf is never valid if any part of it is in the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) area. A valid tawaf must consist of seven circuits inside the Sacred Mosque. It is not permissible for any part of it to be in the sa'y area, even if it is only part of a circuit. This is because the sa'y area is not part of the tawaf area; it is a place exclusively for the sa'y. Yes.
