Say Completion

What Does Say Completion Mean in Detail?

Completing Say correctly requires finishing all seven laps with the final lap ending at Marwah. If a haci 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 haci may make dua but there is no specific prescribed dua. For Umre, the next step after Say completion is halq or taqsir (shaving or trimming the hair), which marks the exit from ihram. For Hac Tamattu, the Say may be performed after Tavaf al-Ifadah. Scholars differ on whether abdest (ablution) is required for Say — the majority view is that it is sunnet (mustahabb) but not required, unlike tavaf. Say can be paused for salah or rest and then resumed from where the haci stopped.
