Doing Tawaf Al-Ifadah After Eid Al-Adha

A man heard that it is permissible to do the Sa'i before doing the Tawaf Al-Ifadah, so he did the Sa'i then made Tawaf Al-Ifadah on the 12th or 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah. Afterwards He was told that this is specific to the day of 'Eid Al-Adha, the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah. So, what is the ruling concerning this?

That which is correct is that there is no difference between the day of 'Eid and any other day, in that it is permissible to do the Sa'i before the Tawaf even if this was after the day of 'Eid.

The general message in the Hadith is that a man said to the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him):

"I did the Sa'i before I made the Tawaf."

And he (Peace and blessings be upon him) replied:

"(There is) No harm (in having done so)."

And since the Hadith was general, there is no difference between doing that on the day of 'Eid or on that which follows.
