The questioner : Is there a limited time for the interval between tawaf and sa'y?
The Shaykh : There is no limited time for the interval between tawaf and sa'y, for continuity is not a condition. However, there is no doubt that it is better that when one performs tawaf, he performs sa'y, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) maintained continuity between his sa'y and his tawaf. But if one delays it, performing tawaf at the beginning of the day and sa'y at the end of it, or after one or two days, there is no blame on him in this, because continuity between tawaf and sa'y is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory.
