Sai Between Safa And Marwah
Safa and Marwa are two hills in the neighbourhood of Masjid-ul-Haram. The literal meaning of Sa’i is to run. In the terminology of Shari’at (Islamic Law) to make seven rounds between Safa and Marwah, in a particular way, is called Sa’i. It is observed as a memorial of a particular action of Hazrat Isma’il (peace be upon them). This Sa’i is ‘Wajib’ both in ‘Hajj’ and Umra.
The literal meaning of Waqof is to stay. The stay at Arafat for a while from the time after Zuhr (Midday) on the 9th of Zilhijja up to the daybreak (on the 10th) is the basic fundamental of Hajj. It is Wajib to stay at Arafat till sunset of the 9th. It is Mustahab to take a bath before moon but if it is difficult, making an ablution only will also suffice. Being so prepared a pilgrim should go to Masjid-e-Namira. Here the Imam-ul-Muslimin (The leader i.e., ruler of the Muslims) or his vicegerent will deliver the 2nd Khutba of Hajj which is Sunnat, not Wajib. He will then lead the congregation of Zuhr and Asr prayers taking them togather in the time of Zuhr. In this case two Sunnat prayers of Zuhr will be abandoned.
Rule Of Action
On the day of Arafa in Arafat, this combining of Zuhr and Asr prayers togather in the time of Zuhr is Sunnat or Mustahab but this is subject to the condition that you are wearing the Ihram of Hajj and the prayers are performed in the leadership of Imam-
ul-Muslimin or his vicegerent. Firstly Zuhr and then Asr prayers are to be performed separately.

The second type of authority given to the Holy Prophet (SAWS) is the authority to interpret and explain the Holy Book. He is the final authority in the interpretation of the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran says:
“And We sent down towards you the Advice (i.e. the Quran) so that you may explain to the people what has been sent down to them and, so that they may ponder.” (16:44).
There are some rules and regulations for research in every art and science. You cannot reach the correct conclusion unless you follow them. In the present jurisprudence also “Interpretation of statutes” is a compulsory subject. It has definite rules and regulations and unless they are given due consideration no interpretation by any legal expert can be acceptable.
