Sa'y is a pillar of the pillars of Hajj and 'Umrah

Question:
Tell us about the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah? Is it obligatory for every pilgrim? Or is it obligatory for one type of pilgrim and not another?

Answer:
Sa'y is obligatory for all pilgrims, between al-Safa and al-Marwah. It is obligatory, a pillar of the pillars of Hajj and 'Umrah, along with tawaf, for the one performing tamattu', the one performing qiran, and the one performing ifrad. However, for the one performing tamattu', a second sa'y is required for his Hajj, and the first one is for his 'Umrah. As for the one performing qiran and the one performing ifrad, only one sa'y is required of him. If he performs it before 'Arafah, it suffices for him; otherwise, he performs it with the tawaf of ifadah after 'Arafah, if he is a non-resident who came from outside.
As for the one who is a resident of Makkah, his sa'y and tawaf are to be performed after Hajj; they are delayed until after Hajj and not brought forward. As for the one who came from outside, from Jeddah, from Riyadh, or from a place farther than either of them, if he enters, he performs tawaf for arrival and sa'y, if he is performing ifrad or qiran. Then he has the tawaf of ifadah after Hajj. His sa'y suffices for him if he performed it before Hajj, and only the tawaf of ifadah is required of him, along with the tawaf of farewell. As for the one performing tamattu', the first sa'y is for his 'Umrah, and he must perform a second sa'y for his Hajj. Yes.
