Is the one who performs tawaf rewarded for voluntary circumambulation if he exceeds seven rounds?

Question:
He asks: Is a person rewarded for adding rounds to the tawaf beyond seven, in the case of voluntary tawaf?

Answer:
No. The tawaf is seven rounds. If he wants to add another seven, that is good. But if he adds two or three rounds, that is better and more rewarding. No, there is no reward in that. The tawaf is not valid and is not accepted unless it is seven rounds and is sincere for the face of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes, just as the prayer is not valid unless it has the prescribed number of rak'ahs.
