What is the ruling on one who misses a lap of the sa'y?

The questioner : The questioner says: A woman performed Hajj with her mahram (a relative one may not marry) as a tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them) pilgrim. When she completed the sixth lap of the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), her mahram said that this was the seventh lap and insisted on it.

The Shaykh : How did it happen?

The questioner : Her mahram said that this was the seventh lap and insisted on it. She completed the rituals of Hajj. Does she owe anything now, if she still has a lap of the tawaf remaining?

The Shaykh : If she is certain that she was on the sixth lap and that she did not complete the tawaf, then her 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) is not complete until now, because the tawaf is a pillar of the 'Umrah, and the 'Umrah cannot be completed without it. However, if she became uncertain when she saw her husband insisting that this was the seventh lap, then she owes nothing, because if she is uncertain and her husband is certain, she follows her husband's statement. Accordingly, we say that if she is still certain now that the laps of the tawaf were only six, she must now put on her ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage) garments, return to Makkah, perform the tawaf, and walk between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Yes, the ihram garments, meaning that it is obligatory for her to enter the state of ihram or to consider herself in a state of ihram.
