At the end of the seventh lap of sa'y, is it obligatory to recite what was recited at the beginning of the lap?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: At the end of the seventh lap of sa'y, am I supposed to recite what I recited at the beginning of the lap before I exit, or do I exit directly from the sa'y area without any dhikr? And do I have to go up to the end of al-Marwah in the seventh lap, or do I exit from the door? Because the door is a little before the end of al-Marwah.
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to complete the distance between al-Safa and al-Marwah such that nothing of it is left out. As for going up on al-Safa and al-Marwah, it is a sunnah (recommended practice); if it is facilitated, it is a sunnah, and if one leaves it, there is no blame on him. As for dhikr, it is recommended to remember Allah on al-Safa and to remember Him on al-Marwah with what he remembered on al-Safa, and he repeats this every time he goes up on al-Safa and al-Marwah during the sa'y. In the final lap, it is recommended to go up on al-Marwah and say the supplication he said at the beginning of the lap to conclude with it.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. Regarding the person in a hurry who is on a carriage, is he required to go up on al-Safa and al-Marwah as well?
The Shaykh:
Going up on al-Safa and al-Marwah is not obligatory, neither for the one who is unable nor for the one who is able; rather, it is a sunnah (recommended practice).
The presenter:
Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh:
If he covers the distance between them, that suffices him. The carriage or vehicle has a system established for it that covers the required amount, and even the recommended amount, because it goes up slightly.
