The ruling on performing sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) on the day of Eid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a pilgrim to perform sa'y before tawaf on the day of Eid?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. The man who said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), “Why did I not…?”
I performed sa'y before I performed tawaf. He said: Do so, and there is no harm.أشعر سعيت قبل أن أطوف قال افعل ولا حرج
did so out of ignorance, and the Messenger excused him due to his ignorance. As for a person who intentionally performs sa'y before tawaf, no.
