Whoever enters into the state of Ihram for Ifrad Hajj has to perform only one Sa`y

Q 2: A man resolved the intention to perform Ifrad Hajj (performing Hajj only) passing by the Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) of Yalamlam. After he had reached Makkah, he performed Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah). Then, he went to Al-Madinah to visit the grave of the Prophet Muhammad while he was in the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah). On his return from Al-Madinah to complete the rituals of Hajj, he passed by the Miqat of Al-Madinah, washed himself, put on the clothes of Ihram (clothing worn during the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) which he wore before and traveled to Makkah. This was before the Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah). He then made Tawaf and Sa'y once again. What is the Shar`y (Islamically lawful) ruling on this, bearing in mind that he has completed all the rituals?


A: Whoever enters into the state of Ihram for Ifrad Hajj (performing Hajj only) passing by a Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah), has to perform only one Sa'y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah). His repetition of Sa'y once upon his arrival in Makkah and then after his visit to Al-Madinah is Islamically unrequested, and there is no sin on him for having done so.
