The ruling on performing the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before the Day of Sacrifice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, O 'Abd Allah. It is more likely that it is permissible, for example, to perform the sa'y of Hajj before the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), because the evidence is valid?
The Shaykh : Of course, in the case of ifrad (performing Hajj alone).
The questioner : Hmm?
The Shaykh : Regarding the request of the scholars, yes.
The questioner : So is this specific to the Day of 'Id, or is it permissible if he performs it before that?
The Shaykh : It is not possible to perform it before that, because the original tawaf, the tawaf al-ifadah, does not enter its time until after standing at 'Arafah and staying overnight at Muzdalifah, because Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:198] Then He said in the other verse: [Al-Hajj 22:29]
The presenter : Yes, Fu'ad.
The questioner : I am Sa'id.
The Shaykh : Yes, professor, not professor.
The Shaykh : Of course, in the case of ifrad (performing Hajj alone).

The Shaykh : Regarding the request of the scholars, yes.
The questioner : So is this specific to the Day of 'Id, or is it permissible if he performs it before that?
The Shaykh : It is not possible to perform it before that, because the original tawaf, the tawaf al-ifadah, does not enter its time until after standing at 'Arafah and staying overnight at Muzdalifah, because Allah the Exalted said:
But when you depart from 'Arafat, remember Allah at al- Mash'ar al-Haram.
فَإِذَا أَفَضْتُم مِّنْ عَرَفَاتٍ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ عِندَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِThen let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows and perform Tawaf around the ancient House."
ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوا تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْيُوفُوا نُذُورَهُمْ وَلْيَطَّوَّفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِThe presenter : Yes, Fu'ad.
The questioner : I am Sa'id.
The Shaykh : Yes, professor, not professor.
