What is the ruling on repeating tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) in one day?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to perform tawaf around the House more than seven times in one day?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to perform tawaf around the House voluntarily without a limit of seven or ten times, or whatever is easy, without a specific limit. Allah the Exalted said:
Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."طَهِّرَا بَيْتِيَ لِلطَّائِفِينَ وَالْعَاكِفِينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
He began with those who perform tawaf because tawaf is specific to the House; there is no tawaf on the face of the earth except around the Ancient House. Therefore, tawaf was given precedence over other acts of worship. Tawaf around the House is a great act of worship that a Muslim repeats. However, with severe crowding, with severe crowding, it is not easy for a person to perform tawaf except by pushing and with danger. So he can wait for opportunities when the crowd is lighter and then perform tawaf. Yes.
