The Number of Times for Tawaf and Sa'y for the One Performing Tamattu'

Question : Shaykh, finally, is the sa'y between the two [pilgrimages] in Hajj? What else is required of the one performing tamattu'? Is one sa'y sufficient?

Answer : No, the correct view is that the one performing tamattu' must perform two tawafs and two sa'ys. This is the correct view. The hadith of 'Aishah and the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas, both in al-Bukhari, indicate this. They state that those who did not exit the state of ihram performed two tawafs between al-Safa and al-Marwah.
