What is the ruling on someone who performed Umrah and started with Al-Marwah before Al-Safa?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The one performing sa'y between Safa and Marwa must begin with Safa and end with Marwa, just as Allah and His Messenger began. The order is obligatory according to the majority of scholars. So, whoever begins with Marwa, their first circuit is not counted, and they must add another circuit to complete their seven valid circuits. The argument of the majority is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) began with Safa and said: "I begin with what Allah began with," and he commanded his Ummah by saying: "Take your rituals from me."
