Is it prescribed for a woman to hasten between the two hills following the example of Hajar or Isma'il?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that when Hajar reached the valley, she hastened, and that the origin of the act of sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) is what Hajar did. Is it prescribed for a woman to hasten between the two hills following the example of Hajar?

Answer:
No, the woman is weak, and Hajar did it because she needed someone to help her. The woman is weak; she does not sa'y (walk between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and does not run in the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), out of consideration for her.
