The ruling on a woman performing sa'y between the two green flags in the place of sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! We mentioned in the lesson on the rites of Hajj: That a woman does not perform sa'y between the two green flags with intense effort, due to scholarly consensus on this matter.And We said: If there were no consensus, the woman would perform sa'y.And I came across the book al-Majmu' by al-Nawawi, in which he said: As for the woman, there are two views: the correct and well-known view, which the majority of scholars affirmed, is that she does not perform sa'y in the place of sa'y, but rather walks the entire distance, whether it is day or night, even in seclusion; because she is an awrah (part of the body that must be covered).
And the second: That if she performs sa'y at night when the place of sa'y is empty, it is recommended for her to perform sa'y in the place of sa'y like a man.
And Allah knows best. So where is the mention of the disagreement?The Shaykh: The disagreement is in a specific case, not in an absolute sense.I mean: It is regarding when she performs sa'y at night and there is no one in the place of sa'y, and that is not possible; because there must be someone in the place of sa'y.
The questioner: And outside the peak seasons?The Shaykh: There must be someone in the place of sa'y. We went during days other than the peak seasons and found that the place of sa'y was not empty of men.
So the disagreement is in this specific case; because it resembles the situation of Hajar, the mother of Isma'il. Hajar, the mother of Isma'il, had no one with her; but when would this occur? It never occurs.
The questioner: Meaning, if she comes, is that possible?The Shaykh: And if she comes and it is possible, then this would be the correct opinion; but this will not happen.
And the second: That if she performs sa'y at night when the place of sa'y is empty, it is recommended for her to perform sa'y in the place of sa'y like a man.
And Allah knows best. So where is the mention of the disagreement?The Shaykh: The disagreement is in a specific case, not in an absolute sense.I mean: It is regarding when she performs sa'y at night and there is no one in the place of sa'y, and that is not possible; because there must be someone in the place of sa'y.
