The ruling on performing sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ibrahīm says: Shaykh Salih, is it permissible to perform sa'y before tawaf?
Answer:
No, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf and then sa'y. However, a man came to him on the day of the festival and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I did not realize that I had performed sa'y before tawaf.” He said, “Do it, and there is no blame on you.” The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only performed sa'y after tawaf. His Companions only performed sa'y after tawaf. But if it happens that someone is ignorant of this and performs sa'y before tawaf on the day of the festival, that suffices for him, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
