Performing Sa'y Before Tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to perform sa'y before tawaf on the Day of Sacrifice?

Answer:
It is not permissible to perform sa'y before tawaf; this contradicts the practice of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He only said to the one who asked him, "I did not realize," meaning he forgot, so he performed sa'y before tawaf. He said
Do it, and there is no harm.أفعل ولا حرج،
This is his excuse due to forgetfulness. As for anything other than that, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would pass by the sa'y area in every lifetime and in his Hajj, he would pass by the sa'y area and go to perform tawaf, starting with tawaf
And he said: Take from me your rituals of Hajj.وقال خذوا عني مناسككم
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:864
