Standing and Making Du'a on al-Safa and al-Marwah in Every Lap
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is the Sunnah in sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) to stand and make du'a on al-Safa and al-Marwah in every lap, or only at the beginning?
Answer:
No, in every lap. This is better. One must complete the distance between al-Safa and al-Marwah, even if he does not climb up. Climbing up on al-Safa and al-Marwah is a recommended practice (sunnah), but completing the distance between them is a condition for the validity of tawaf (circumambulation) and sa'y. Yes.
