The Ruling on Sa'y in the New Sa'y Area
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on performing sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) in the new sa'i area?
Answer:
The sa'i area is currently a construction site; they are working on it now. Wait until it is finished and the matter becomes clear. If you want to go to Makkah, there is no objection. You may go to Makkah to pray in al-Masjid al-Haram, sit in it, and perform tawaf (circumambulation) of the Holy Ka'bah. No, that is fine, but it does not fulfill the requirement of 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage). The 'Umrah is delayed until the situation in the sa'i area becomes clear and the outcome is known later. Yes.
