Question

Is it permissible to delay sa’ee after performing tawaaf?

Answer

It is sunnah to perform sa’ee after tawaaf without any delay. If sa’ee is delayed after performing tawaaf without a valid reason, there will be no penalty, but this is against the sunnah.

However, if there is a valid excuse such as sickness or tiredness, then there is no harm in delaying the sa’ee.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
