Is Sa’i Valid on the First Floor of the Mas’a Area?
Answered by Shaykh Yusuf Weltch
Question
Is Sa‘i valid on the first floor of the Mas‘a area, or does it require being within the original hillocks? If the basement is inaccessible, how should one ensure compliance with the rules of Sa‘i?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
The Sa‘i is valid on all available floors/levels designated in the Sacred Mosque.
Hope this helps
Allah knows best
