The Ruling on Sa'y Before Tawaf

Question:
He says: If a person performing 'Umrah does the sa'y before the tawaf, and then performs the tawaf, what is required of him?

Answer:
He must repeat the sa'y after the tawaf. He says: The sa'y is not valid except after the tawaf. One must perform the tawaf first, then do the sa'y. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it in all his 'Umrahs and in his Hajj; he never did the sa'y before the tawaf. He would pass by the place of sa'y and go to the House to perform the tawaf. When he finished the tawaf, he would pray two rak'ahs, then go out and do the sa'y. He would go out to the place of sa'y, to al-Safa and al-Marwah, and begin the sa'y. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: . It was only reported in a narration that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I did not realize that I had done the sa'y before the tawaf." He said: "Do it, and there is no harm." So from the apparent state of the matter, he did not intend it; rather, he did this out of forgetfulness or ignorance. He said: "Do it, and there is no harm." As for intentionally doing this, there is no evidence for it. Yes.
