Chapter on Performing the Tawaf of Hajj and the Tawaf of Women Before Sa’y and Before Departing to Mina
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمُتَمَتِّعِ إِذَا كَانَ شَيْخاً كَبِيراً أَوِ اِمْرَأَةً تَخَافُ اَلْحَيْضَ يُعَجِّلُ اَلطَّوَافَ لِلْحَجِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مِنًى قَالَ «نَعَمْ مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا يُعَجِّلُ» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُحْرِمُ بِالْحَجِّ مِنْ مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ يَرَى اَلْبَيْتَ خَالِياً فَيَطُوفُ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ «لاَ ».
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Imam Abu Ibrahim عليه السلام about a person performing tamattu‘ who is an elderly man or a woman fearing menstruation—can they perform the tawaf for Hajj earlier, before going to Mina? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, for someone in such a situation, they may perform it earlier." Imam عليه السلام was also asked about a man who enters ihram for Hajj in Mecca, then sees the Kaaba empty and decides to perform tawaf before leaving for Mina. Imam عليه السلام said: "No."
