Dear Mufti Sahib,
After performing Tawaf of Umrah I was tired and came to hotel and performed Saee next day. Will Dam applicable upon me for delaying Saee ?
Brother c/o Molana Nabeel Sb, Lilongwe.
After the Tawaf of Umrah, the Sunnah is that, if it is not a disliked (makruh) time, one should immediately perform the two Rak‘ahs of Tawaf and then perform Sa‘i right after that.
Delaying the Sa‘i without a valid excuse is makruh (disliked). However, if the delay is due to a valid reason — for example, the person is tired and wishes to rest before performing Sa‘i — then there is no harm in it.
Furthermore, even if someone delays the Sa‘i without an excuse, the Sa‘i will still be valid, and no دم (penalty sacrifice) or expiation will be required upon him.
Note: If during the delay, he has violated the conditions of Ihraam , like using perfume, covered his face or foot etc then as per the mistake (جنایت) rulings will apply.
واللہ تعالٰی اعلم
