What is the ruling on doubt regarding the number of circuits of tawaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I doubted the number of circuits around the Ka'bah, but my mother confirms that we completed the tawaf. What should I do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If the doubt occurs during the tawaf, you build upon certainty; you build upon the lesser number and complete the tawaf so that you exit the act of worship with certainty. But if you have finished the tawaf and no doubt occurred during the tawaf, but rather it occurred after you finished, then do not pay attention to this doubt, because doubt after the act of worship has no effect.
