The Ruling on Adding Rounds to the Sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, sometimes some of the pilgrims perform fourteen rounds instead of the seven, by completing a full circuit between al-Safa and al-Marwah, thinking that it counts as one round, and this happens repeatedly. Please give us guidance. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Seven rounds are counted for him, and the rest are extra and have no value. Yes. May Allah guide you. If someone deliberately says that seven rounds are not sufficient and does so intentionally, then he is an innovator. Yes.
The presenter:
