Summary
The act is permissible, but it is better to avoid it. Tawaf and sa'i are acts of worship that should be devoted to supplication, remembrance of Allah, Quran recitation, salawat and focusing the heart on Allah. The fatwa also cites the view of most scholars that it is recommended (sunnah) for a person performing tawaf not to speak, except out of need, for remembrance of Allah or for knowledge.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat melakukan aksi seperti di atas adalah dibolehkan tetapi alangkah baiknya ditinggalkan.
