Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person intends to perform Hajj with the ifrad (performing Hajj alone) type, is it permissible for him to perform the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before the tawaf al-ifadah (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) on the tenth day?
Answer:
After the tawaf al-qudum (arrival circumambulation), if he has performed the tawaf for arrival, then it is permissible for him to perform the sa'y after it. However, if he performs the sa'y before it, and no tawaf has preceded it, it is not valid. If he performs the sa'y and no tawaf has preceded it, it is not valid. Yes.
