Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. If a person performs tawaf on the upper level of the Haram, and because of the heavy crowd enters the sa'i area and passes through it during his tawaf, what is the ruling?
Answer:
The point is that if he did not complete the sa'i, his sa'i is not complete, because tawaf is not permissible in the sa'i area. Tawaf is performed inside the mosque, and the sa'i area is not part of the mosque; it is a distinct station.
