bukhari:395al-Ḥumaydī > Sufyān > ʿAmr b. Dīnār > Saʾalnā Ibn ʿUmar

I asked Ibn ʿUmar, "Can a person who has performed the Tawaf around the Kaʿba for ʿUmra but has not performed the (Saʿi) Tawaf of Safa and Marwa, have a sexual relation with his wife?" Ibn ʿUmar replied "When the Prophet ﷺ reached Mecca he performed the Tawaf around the Kaʿba (circumambulated it seven times) and offered a two-rakʿat prayer (at the place) behind the station (of Abraham) and then performed the Tawaf (Saʿi) of Safa and Marwa, and verily in Messenger of Allah ﷺ you have a good example." Then we put the same question to Jabir bin ʿAbdullah and he too replied, "He should not go near his wife (for sexual relation) till he has finished the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa."

We asked Ibn ʿUmar: "May a man have sexual relations with his wife during the Umra before performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived (in Mecca) and circumambulated the Kaʿba seven times, then offered two rakʿat behind Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Abraham), then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn ʿUmar added, "Verily! In Allah's Apostle you have a good example." And I asked Jabir bin ʿAbdullah (the same question), and he replied, "You should not go near your wives (have sexual relations) till you have finished Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. "
