Resting or Riding During Sa‘y

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah riding on a stumper. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so as well as on a carriage.’”

2. Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah riding. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful but walking is more virtuous.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah: if he can rest. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so on al-Safa’ or al-Marwah or in between.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not sit down between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah unless you are very exhausted.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of women who perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah on camels and stumpers; if they can stop below al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, they can do so in a way that they can see the House.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One riding is not required to perform Sa‘y (walking faster like running slowly) but they should hasten to a certain degree.’”
