Ruling on adding to the sa'y
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: I performed the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, but I did the lap from al-Safa to al-Safa, counting it as one. Is there anything required of me for that?
Answer: This is an addition on your part. You have performed fourteen laps, whereas the obligatory number is seven. The other seven are not permissible because they contradict the Shari'ah. However, you are excused due to ignorance. You must repent to Allah for this and not return to such a thing if you perform Hajj or 'Umrah. The purpose is achieved by seven laps: from al-Safa to al-Marwah, then from al-Marwah to al-Safa. You begin with al-Safa and conclude with al-Marwah, for a total of seven laps.
