What is the ruling if pilgrims are required to perform sa‘y (jogging) in the basement level or on the second or third floor?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if the starting and ending points of the new sa‘y area are connected to what remains of the original Safa and Marwah mountains — not the artificial extensions — then there is no problem performing sa‘y in the new area on the ground floor or the basement level. As for the upper floors: if the path of the one performing sa‘y is not higher in elevation than the two mountains, then it is valid; otherwise, it is not. Allah knows best.

If a pilgrim in the state of Ihram wishes to use an electric cart voluntarily, is it permissible? And if he has an attendant who can operate and stop the cart, is he allowed to use it? Additionally, is it necessary for him to ascend Safa, or is it sufficient to reach the front part of Safa?
Answer
In the name of Allah, it is not permissible. Allah knows best.

Is it permissible to perform jogging (Sa'i) in the new jogging area?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if the beginning and the end of the new jogging area is part of the remaining of Safa and Marwa mountains, not the artificial, and the jogging person comes from a way and turn to another, there is no objection to jogging in the new jogging area. The duty, as concluded from the narrations and the holy verse, that jogging is to be done between the Safa and Marwa mountains. Allah knows best.
