The Ruling on the Order of Sa'y and Tawaf in Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence! Is it permissible to perform sa'y on the day of Eid and delay tawaf until the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, or sixteenth day?
The questioner : The meaning of the question is: if a person performs sa'y for Hajj on the day of Eid and delays the tawaf of ifadah until his departure, so that it suffices for him as the farewell tawaf, is that permissible?We say: There is nothing wrong with this; because the order between sa'y and tawaf in Hajj is not obligatory,And the evidence for that is: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on the day of Eid, and the people asked him about doing things before or after, and he was not asked about anything to be done first or last except that he said: "Do it, and there is no harm."
Likewise: If he delays the tawaf and sa'y until the time of his departure, there is nothing wrong with it; because performing sa'y after tawaf does not prevent his last visit to the House from being the farewell tawaf. However, if he delays the tawaf of ifadah until his departure, he must intend with it either the tawaf of ifadah only, or the tawaf of ifadah and the farewell tawaf. As for intending with it only the farewell tawaf, it does not suffice for the tawaf of ifadah; because the one who delays the tawaf of ifadah, which is the tawaf of Hajj, until his departure, either intends both, in which case he gets what he intended, or he intends only the tawaf of ifadah, in which case it becomes the tawaf of ifadah and the farewell tawaf is dropped, or he intends the farewell tawaf, in which case he gets the farewell tawaf but it does not suffice for the tawaf of ifadah, and in that case he returns having not completed his Hajj. So let him be careful of this.
