Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Excuse me, Shaykh, if the one performing 'Umrah is doing tawaf and completes the tawaf, and then wants to go to al-Safa and al-Marwah, but during this time, meaning he is very tired and wants to rest, but because of the cold or because of his habit, he cannot rest without his ihram, so he places the ihram under his head or uses it like a bed, does he have to offer a sacrifice or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, first: May Allah reward you. We must all know that continuity is not required between tawaf and sa'y. In other words, it is permissible for a person to perform tawaf, then rest, then perform sa'y, or to perform tawaf at the beginning of the day and sa'y at the end of the day. There is no obstacle to this. This is the first point.
Second: There is no harm in a person placing his garment as a pillow for himself, using it as a pillow or a bed. There is nothing wrong with that.
