The ruling on performing tawaf and sa'y while riding or being carried

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding tawaf and sa'y, if a person is unable to do so and is being carried in a cart, but he is capable of walking, is that sufficient, O Shaykh?

Answer:
Yes, it is sufficient to ride or to be carried. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf while riding on some occasions. It is permissible for a person to perform tawaf on foot, and that is better. It is also permissible to ride due to an excuse, or to demonstrate that this is permissible for people. Yes.
