السعي on Wheelchair(السعي على كرسي متحرك) The practice of performing السعي between الصفا and المروةh using a wheelchair, permitted for الحجاج who are unable to walk due to physical disability, illness, old age, or extreme fatigue.
السعي على كرسي متحرك
Islamic scholars unanimously agree that performing السعي in a wheelchair is valid and counts as a complete السعي. The principle is based on the hadith that النبي Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) permitted those unable to walk to be carried during الطواف, and this ruling extends to السعي. The modern Mas'a walkway has been designed with accessibility in mind, featuring designated wheelchair lanes on the ground floor with smooth flooring and appropriate width. Wheelchair rental and attendant services are available at المسجد الحرام for a fee. Pilgrims in wheelchairs should still make the required الأدعية and الأدعية at الصفا and المروةh. The seven-lap requirement remains the same. Companions pushing the wheelchair should be mindful of other الحجاج and follow traffic flow directions.
