Sa'i Completion(إتمام السعي) The proper conclusion of the Sa'i ritual, which occurs when the seventh lap ends at Marwah. After Sa'i, the pilgrim proceeds to halq (shaving) or taqsir (trimming) to complete the rites.
إتمام السعي
Completing Sa'i correctly requires finishing all seven laps with the final lap ending at Marwah. If a pilgrim is unsure about the count, they should assume the lower number and complete additional laps to reach seven. Upon reaching Marwah for the seventh time, the pilgrim may make dua but there is no specific prescribed supplication. For Umrah, the next step after Sa'i completion is halq or taqsir (shaving or trimming the hair), which marks the exit from ihram. For Hajj Tamattu, the Sa'i may be performed after Tawaf al-Ifadah. Scholars differ on whether wudu (ablution) is required for Sa'i — the majority view is that it is recommended (mustahabb) but not required, unlike tawaf. Sa'i can be paused for salah or rest and then resumed from where the pilgrim stopped.
