Obligatory Acts of Say

Article 236- There is some obligatory things in Say:

First: Niyyah( intention )it is obligatory that the pilgrim performs" Say" with" intention" for the satisfaction of Allah, and as much as he/ she knows what is he/ she doing and it is for Hajj or Umrah then it is enough, and it is not necessary to say it in words.

Second: is beginning from" Safa" and third: finishing to" Marwah"( as it has been mentioned before, Safa and Marwah are two small hills near Masjid al- Haraam and when a pilgrim exits Masjid al- Haraam he/ she sees" Safa" in the right side and" Marwah" in the left, therefore Hajji first goes to Safa and begins Say from there ).

Going from Safa to Marwah is considered as one round and returning from that is considered as another round, therefore the seventh rounds ends in Marwah.
