What is the evidence that the sa'y of Hajj is a pillar?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Sa'y between Safa and Marwah is a pillar of Hajj according to the majority of scholars, and this is supported by many pieces of evidence, including the statement of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: "Allah does not complete the Hajj or of anyone who does not perform between Safa and Marwah." And the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "O people, perform Sa'y, for Sa'y has been prescribed for you." However, the Hanafis and some jurists held the view that it is an obligation that can be compensated for by an animal sacrifice (dam), or a for which nothing is required if omitted.
