Q
What was the initial perception of performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa before the revelation of the Quranic verse?
A
I asked Anas bin Malik: “Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?” He
said, “Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, till Allah
revealed: ‘Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is
therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka`ba, or performs `Umra, to perform
Tawaf between them.’ ” (2.158)
