Performing Sa'y Before Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I have three relatives who have performed 'Umrah, and they are ignorant of some of the obligations regarding their Hajj and 'Umrah. When they entered the Haram, they performed sa'y before tawaf. Does this incur sin upon them? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As long as they performed tawaf and then shortened their hair, it is complete. The understanding is that the best is to begin with tawaf. The correct view is that one follows the evidence. If one forgets and performs sa'y before tawaf, or is ignorant of it, it is established that he was asked, and he said: And on the Day of 'Id, when he was asked about something whether to bring it forward or delay it, he said: So, if one forgets or is ignorant and performs sa'y before tawaf, it suffices for him, but he must not do it intentionally. It is not permissible for him to do it intentionally.
