Doubt regarding the number of circuits of tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what does the one performing 'Umrah or Hajj do?
The Shaykh:
When he doubts about the number of circuits.
The questioner:
Is it six or seven?
The Shaykh:
He acts on certainty; he acts on the lesser number. If he doubts about the number of circuits, he takes the lesser number because it is the one that involves effort, and he completes it. So if he doubts whether he did six circuits or seven circuits, he considers them six and performs the seventh.
