The ruling on sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) in 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My friend performed 'Umrah and did the sa'y before the tawaf, and then he did the tawaf. What is required of him?
Answer:
This is contrary to the known Sunnah (recommended practice) of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not mentioned that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did the sa'y before the tawaf. Rather, he would pass by the place of sa'y and go to the place of tawaf and perform the tawaf throughout his life (peace and blessings be upon him). It was only reported that a man asked him on the Day of Sacrifice, saying: "O Messenger of Allah, I did not realize that I did the sa'y before the tawaf." He said: "Do it, and there is no harm." This is specific to this particular case only, the source of the hadith. Yes.
