Performing Sa'y before Tawaf is permissible on the Day of the 'Eid and at other times


Question :

A man heard that it is permissible to perform Sa'y before Tawaf, so he performed Sa'y and then Tawaf on the 12th or 13th day. Then, it was said to him that this is specifically (i.e., only) for the day of the 'Eid. So, what is the ruling?


Answer:

The correct view is that there is no difference between the day of the 'Eid and other days regarding the permissibility of performing Sa'y before Tawaf. Even if that is done after the day of the 'Eid. This is due to the generality of the Hadith when a man said to the Prophet ﷺ: "I performed Sa'y before I made Tawaf." The Prophet ﷺ said:
"No problem."

Therefore, since this Hadith is general, there is no difference between the person doing that on the day of the 'Eid or after it.
