The ruling on sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) while naked
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
ً
The Hanbali school states: Regarding the fact that the sa'y of one who performs it naked is valid, is it not possible to include this action in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah: (Whoever does an action that is not in accordance with our command, it is rejected)?
Yes, that is correct.
But sa'y has no bearing on this issue.
The questioner: Of the actions.
The Shaykh: It is not a condition. If covering the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) were a condition, that would be fine. If he circumambulates naked, it is valid.
The questioner: It is not reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) circumambulated naked.
The Shaykh: In any case: this has no bearing on sa'y. It is forbidden for him. Even if it were assumed that there is no one in the place of sa'y and it is in darkness, it is not permissible.
The questioner: But now, if he performs sa'y naked in front of people, is it valid for him?The Shaykh: The best thing for him is to be shackled and taken to Shihar. Do you know Shihar? Shihar is the prison for the insane.
