Question:
He says: I performed the tawaf of 'Umrah, and at the end I doubted whether I had done six or seven circuits. What is required of me?
Answer:
You are required to perform the seventh circuit if you doubt whether you did six or seven. You count it as six because that is the certain number, and you perform the seventh. You perform the seventh. However, if the doubt occurs after you have finished the tawaf and left the area of tawaf, this has no effect. But if you doubt while you are in the middle of the tawaf, you build upon the lesser number, which is the certainty, and you perform what you doubted about. Yes.
