السعي على كرسي متحرك
Islamic scholars unanimously agree that performing Say in a wheelchair is valid and counts as a complete Say. The principle is based on the hadith that Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) permitted those unable to walk to be carried during tavaf, and this ruling extends to Say. 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 Mescid-i Haram for a fee. Pilgrims in wheelchairs should still make the required duas and duas at Safa and Marwah. The seven-lap requirement remains the same. Companions pushing the wheelchair should be mindful of other hacilar and follow traffic flow directions.
