وَسُئِلَ مَالِك ، عَمَّنْ أَهَلَّ بِالْحَجِّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِمْ مِنْ مَكَّةَ لِهِلَالِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ بِالطَّوَافِ ؟ قَالَ : أَمَّا الطَّوَافُ الْوَاجِبُ فَلْيُؤَخِّرْهُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَصِلُ بَيْنَهُ ، وَبَيْنَ السَّعْيِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا ، وَالْمَرْوَةِ وَلْيَطُفْ مَا بَدَا لَهُ وَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ كُلَّمَا طَافَ سُبْعًا ، وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِينَ أَهَلُّوا بِالْحَجِّ ، فَأَخَّرُوا الطَّوَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَالسَّعْيَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا ، وَالْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّى رَجَعُوا مِنْ مِنًى ، وَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، فَكَانَ يُهِلُّ لِهِلَالِ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ بِالْحَجِّ مِنْ مَكَّةَ ، وَيُؤَخِّرُ الطَّوَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَالسَّعْيَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا ، وَالْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ مِنْ مِنًى .
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If the people who are residents of the city and the country put on the ihram for Hajj from Makkah after sighting the moon of Dhul-Hijjah, then how should they perform the obligatory tawaf? He said: They should delay the obligatory tawaf (tawaf al-ziyarah), and that is the tawaf after which the sa’i is performed between Safa and Marwah, and they may perform as many voluntary tawafs as they wish. But after every tawaf, they should pray two rak’ahs, and this is what the companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did. They put on the ihram for Hajj from Makkah, so they delayed the tawaf and sa’i until they returned from Mina, and this is what our master Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, did. He would also put on the ihram for Hajj from Makkah after sighting the moon of Dhul-Hijjah, and would delay the tawaf and sa’i until returning from Mina.
