Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, I have a woman with me, and we will enter after Maghrib for Tawaf al-Ifadah and Sa'y. Since the Haram fills up with people between Maghrib and Isha, is it permissible for me to perform Sa'y before Tawaf so that I can do Tawaf after the Isha prayer, as it might be less crowded?
Answer:
No, the Sunnah is to perform Tawaf first. The Sunnah is to perform Tawaf first. Yes.
