Is it permissible to perform the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)?

Question:
Is it permissible to perform the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) of Hajj before the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), citing the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)

Answer:
Yes, indeed. A narration was reported that I performed the sa'y before I performed the tawaf, and he said, "Do so, and there is no harm." However, this narration is anomalous according to the scholars, and only a few scholars acted upon it. The majority are in agreement on not acting upon it. Therefore, a person should not seek out dispensations and unusual narrations, present them to people, and issue rulings based on them. This is not what should be done. It should lead people to caution, to the well-known position, and to the practice of the Muslims.
A person is not a person, nor is he one who is accountable, if he seeks out dispensations and unusual matters for people. Yes. All the rituals, all the rituals, even the ritual of Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), they all say that he performs the tawaf first and then the sa'y at the end. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) included the issue of performing the sa'y before the tawaf at the very end of the book, and for all those years he was following the position of the majority. And this is what should be done.
Yes. Based on this ruling, many people do not go to the Ka'bah when they first arrive; they start from the sa'y area and begin with the sa'y, even in 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage). There is a crowd or something, and they do not go to the Ka'bah when they first arrive, even though it is supposed to be that when they first arrive, they go to the Ka'bah to perform the tawaf, the greeting of the Ka'bah and the tawaf. These people do not follow the Sunnah; this is contrary to the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
