Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This person is asking about the tawaf around the Ka'bah: Does a person begin with a takbir from the Black Stone and conclude with a takbir, or does he leave upon reaching the Black Stone without a takbir?

Answer : The prescribed dhikr at the beginning of the tawaf and at the beginning of the sa'y is the dhikr at the start of the lap. Accordingly, the takbir is at the start of the lap.
So, when he circles the Ka'bah, does he say this takbir for the lap he has just completed or for the one he is about to start? For the one he is about to start, and so on until he completes seven laps. If he finishes with seven laps, there is no lap remaining for which he needs to say the takbir. On this basis, when the seven laps are finished, he leaves without a takbir. The same is said regarding the sa'y. It is recommended (sunnah) at the beginning of the laps of the sa'y for a person to ascend al-Safa and say the transmitted dhikr. If he completes seven laps, how will the conclusion be? With what? With al-Marwah?
The conclusion will be with al-Marwah. If he concludes with al-Marwah, he leaves without standing. Because the supplication is only for the beginning of the lap. Yes.
