Summary
Performing sa'i in the expanded mas'a is permissible and valid. The fatwa refers to a fuller discussion at the national Hajj conference, covering the history of the mas'a, the definitions of Safa, Marwah and sa'i, and the ruling on performing sa'i on the upper floor after the Masjid al-Haram was enlarged and built in multiple levels. Sa'i is a pillar according to the majority of scholars including the Shafi'i school, while the Hanafis regard it as obligatory.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
