Sa'y: Difference between revisions

Saʿy ({{ia|السَعْي}}) is one of the obligation of [['umra]] and [[hajj]]. In 'umra, after performing tawaf and its prayer, it is obligatory to perform sa'y between the two mountains [[Safa and Marwa]]. Sa'y means covering the distance between these two mountains. The first round should start from Safa and end at Marwa and the second from Marwa to Safa. In this way, the seven rounds should be completed and he/she should complete this rite at Marwa. Therefore, it is incorrect to start sa'y from Marwa and end it at Safa.

One should make intention before performing sa'y. Like intention of ihram, one should specify the type of sa'y and perform it intending solely nearness to Allah.
