He began with Al-Marwah and he cut his Hair at As-Safa

Question :

I am a very old man and I performed Tawaf for 'Umrah, and then I performed Sa'y making seven trips. However, I began from Al-Marwah and I cut my hair at As-Safa and put on seamed garments. So, what is the ruling on that?

Answer:

This person must perform another circuit, because he left out a circuit, unless he performed Sa'y making eight trips (i.e., not counting the first trip from Al-Marwah), in which case there is no problem. Thus, the first circuit is an extra one that does not harm him. The intent is that if he began with Al- Marwah and finished at As-Safa, making eight circuits (starting his counting from As-Safa), then out of these there are seven complete circuits for him. However, if it was only seven circuits, then he has missed a circuit and he must complete it and repeat the cutting of his hair so that he can complete his 'Umrah. The first cutting of his hair was not sufficient for him, because he cut his hair before he completed the Sa'y and the first circuit that he began from Al-Marwah does not count.
