Is the Hajj of one who performs Tawaf and Sa'y on the morning of the Day of Arafah, and then goes to Arafah in the afternoon, valid?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the circumambulation (Tawaf) mentioned is Tawaf Al-Ifadah, then it is not valid because it occurred at an improper time. Therefore, they must perform Tawaf Al-Ifadah and then Sa'i after it, even if this is after the Days of Tashreeq, knowing that the greater disengagement (Al-Tahallul Al-Akbar) is not complete except with Tawaf Al-Ifadah. However, if the Tawaf was a voluntary act, there is no harm in it, but it is not permissible to perform Sa'i before the standing at Arafah after it.
