Tawaf When the Pilgrim Enters the Sa'y Area Due to Crowding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We ask Allah to grant us remembrance. One may see a person performing 'Umrah in the Sacred House, and upon reaching the point of sa'y, when he reaches the sa'y area, he enters it amidst heavy crowding, and then he completes most of his tawaf. Is there any harm in that?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Yes. He fasted for the Sacred House with an 'Umrah, and upon reaching the sa'y, he returned to his homeland.
The Shaykh:
The sa'y area means that upon reaching the sa'y area, he entered it due to the crowd. This tawaf lap is not valid; this lap is not valid because he is outside the mosque, as the sa'y area is an independent sanctuary, an independent sanctuary. So, he must perform a lap like the one he did in the sa'y area. Yes, the one who performs tawaf must be inside the Sacred Mosque, and the sa'y area is outside the Sacred Mosque because it is the sa'y area.
The questioner:
And this journey and illness are within the boundaries of the prohibited acts.
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is all a sanctuary. Sa'y begins from al-Safa and ends at al-Marwah, and al-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah, and what lies between them is the place for sa'y.
