The ruling on performing Sa'y before Tawaf

Question :

Is it permissible to perform Sa'y before Tawaf, regardless of whether it is during Hajj or 'Umrah?

Answer:

The Sunnah is that the Tawaf be performed first, then the Sa'y after it. If a person performs Sa'y before Tawaf due to ignorance on his part, there is no problem with that. Indeed it has been confirmed from the Prophet ﷺ that a man said to him, "I performed Sa'y before Tawaf." So the Prophet ﷺ said :
"No problem."

This proves that if the person performed Sa'y first, that suffices him. However, the Sunnah is that he performs Tawaf and then Sa'y. This is the Sunnah for both Umrah and Hajj.
