The questioner : He also asks: Is it permissible for a pilgrim while performing sa'y to sit or stand to rest, and then continue, and sit down, and so on?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is permissible for him. The scholars have mentioned that continuity between the laps of sa'y is a recommended practice (sunnah), not a condition.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Accordingly, he may rest, even if the time is long, and then begin the sa'y again. However, the more continuous the laps are, the better, according to his ability.
