Sa`y

Q: I performed Tamattu` Hajj (`Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between). After I performed `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage), I took off the clothes of Ihram. On the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah, I entered the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) and did all the rituals of Hajj except for Sa`y which I unintentionally forgot to do. What is required of me? (Part No. 11; Page No. 258) Please tell me whether my Hajj is valid or not. May Allah grant you a good reward.

A: You have to return to Makkah to perform Sa`y because a pilgrim who intends to perform Tamattu` Hajj is required to perform Sa`y twice, one for `Umrah and another for Hajj.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
