What is the required ascent on al-Safa and al-Marwah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Honorable Shaykh, it may be difficult for the one performing Sa'i to climb up [Al-Baqarah 2:158] due to the crowd. Is there a minimum limit for climbing up to them? We hope you will define it precisely, as there is rough tiling at the beginning of the ascent, then it stops and smooth tiling begins, and then the two stones come, meaning al-Safa or al-Marwah?
Answer : The boundary of the Sa'i path that must be covered is the boundary. The dividing line. For the carriages. That is, the end of the carriage path is the limit of the place that must be covered in Sa'i, because those who laid out the carriage path placed it at the end of what is required in Sa'i. Accordingly, if a person reaches the limit of the carriage path, then advances a little, about a meter, and then returns, his Sa'i is complete, even if he does not reach the top of al-Safa and the top of al-Marwah.
as-Safa and al-Marwah are among
