The Case of One Who Commences al-Sa‘y Before Tawaf or Performs Tawaf but Delays al-Sa‘y

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ طَافَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَطَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَطُوفُ إِذْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَرَكَ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ بِالْبَيْتِ قَالَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَيُتِمُّ طَوَافَهُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَيُتِمُّ مَا بَقِيَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ بَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْدَأَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ يَأْتِي الْبَيْتَ

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf around al-Ka‘bah, then goes to al-Safa’ and al-Marwah to perform Tawaf, and remembers that he has left out certain parts of Tawaf around the House. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must go back to the House to complete his Tawaf, then come to al-Safa’ and al-Ma

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ فَيَطُوفُ بَيْنَهُمَا.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf (Sa‘y) between al- Safa’ and al-Marwah before Tawaf around the House. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must go back to perform Tawaf around the House, then return to perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَقْدَمُ حَاجّاً وَ قَدِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْحَرُّ فَيَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ وَ يُؤَخِّرُ السَّعْيَ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْرُدَ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَ رُبَّمَا فَعَلْتُهُ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who comes for al-Hajj and the heat is intense so he performs Tawaf around al-Ka‘bah and delays Sa‘iy until it becomes cooler. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. I also may have done so.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ فَيَدْخُلُ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ أَ يَسْعَى قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ أَوْ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْعَى قَالَ لَا بَلْ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَسْعَى.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf around the House and it becomes time of al-‘Asr; if he must perform Salat (prayer) first or Sa‘iy. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he must perform Salat (prayer) first.’”

سَأَلْتُهُ‌[1] عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَأَعْيَا أَ يُؤَخِّرُ الطَّوَافَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ إِلَى غَدٍ قَالَ لَا.

“I once asked the Imam (a.s.), about a man who performs Tawaf around the House but he becomes tired; if he can delay Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah until the next day. The Imam said, ‘No, he cannot do so.’”
