Ladies make Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah and Sa'ee before Hajj

Question

Is it permissible for ladies to make Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah and Sa'ee before Hajj (due to excessive crowds during Hajj)?

zd · Answer

On the 8th of Zill Hajj, adorn Ihraam for Hajj, perform a Nafl Tawaaf followed by a Saee, 'bank' the saee. When you come for Tawaaf -e- Ziyaarat then make Tawaaf. However, experience shows on the 8th Zill Hajj the crowds are also dense.
