Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 29/29=L/1429)

(1) Yes, one can perform the saee of tawaf-e-ziyarah before going to Mina on 5^th or 6^th Zul Hijjah, but it is conditioned that it is preceded by ihram and nafl tawaf; since every saee should be offered after tawaf. In this tawaf it is sunnah for men to do iztiba of ihram sheet (take out the right hand till arm and leave it uncovered) and ramal (stride confidently) in tawaf.

(2) The saee performed after wuqood Arfa along with tawaf-e-ziyarah is not conditioned with ihram, but the saee of hajj which is performed before wuqoof is conditioned with ihram.

(3) Tawaf-e-Widaa (farewell tawaf) can be performed after tawaf-e-ziyarah in the days of Qurbani, though the rami is yet remaining. But, it is better to perform tawaf-e-widaa after performing all rituals of hajj just before leaving Makkah; since the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: While departure from Makkah the last work should be tawaf. So, in performing tawaf-e-widaa before rami, the rami will occur in the last not the tawaf.
