The
ruling regarding women crowding amongst the men at as-Safaa
and al-Marwah
*Please appropriately reference this
fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: From that which is known is that
as-Safaa
is small (narrow) and al-Marwah
is smaller (narrower). However, we see (some) women ascending
upon as-Safaa
and al-Marwah
and crowd amongst the men. Is this from the Sunnah for the
women to ascend upon as-Safaa?
Response:
That which is known according to the Fuqahaa.
is that it is not recommended for the women to ascend upon
as-Safaa
and al-Marwah.
Instead, they should stand at the foot of each mount, then
move on to complete the remainimg circuits. However, it maybe
that these women who were seen ascending as-Safaa
and al-Marwah
are with their mahrams.
It is not recommended for them to split up from their mahrams
because of the fear they may lose (each other), otherwise,
that which is better is for the woman not to gather amongst
the men in an(y) issue that does not require it.
