What is the ruling on one who doubts the number of his tawaf circuits after completing his 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: After I completed my 'Umrah, and all praise is due to Allah, I found a doubt in my mind as to whether I had performed seven or six circuits. What should I do?

Answer:
Doubt after the completion and finishing of the 'Umrah has no effect, so do not pay attention to it. However, if you doubt while you are in the tawaf, or if you doubt while you are in the prayer regarding the number of circuits or the number of rak'ahs, you must act on certainty. If you doubt whether you performed six or seven circuits, you consider it six and perform the seventh. If you doubt whether you prayed four or three rak'ahs, you consider it three and complete the fourth, and then perform the prostration for forgetfulness.
