On the day of Eid, a man did sa‘i, without having done tawaf, and he delayed tawaf until the third day, based on the fact that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “…do it; it does not matter.” Is what he did correct?
What he did is valid, because when someone asked the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), I did sa‘i before tawaf, he said: “It does not matter.” End quote.
