2978. Abû Az-Zubair narrated that he heard Jâbir bin ‘Abdullâh say: During the Farewell Pilgrimage the Prophet ﷺ circumambulated the House and went between As-Safâ and Al-Marwah on his mount so that the people could see him and he could see them, and they could ask him questions, and the people crowded around him. (Sahih)

Commentary
The Tawâf, whether it be of the House of Allâh or of As-Safâ and Al-Marwah, should be only done on foot. This is because the command to circumambulate is given to man and not to animals; except if a plausible excuse exists. For instance, the one doing the Tawâf is very old, or is too ill to do the Tawâf, etc.
