The Ruling on Relying on the Muttawif to Count the Rounds

Question:
The question is: Is it permissible to appoint a muttawif or entrust him with the task so that he counts the rounds himself, while I do not count them because I am relying on the muttawif? Is this permissible or not?

Answer:
It is recommended that each person count the rounds himself and not rely on others. The means of correctness, such as the sa'y and the pebbles for stoning the pillars, are things he must count himself and attend to; he does not delegate them to others. This is not a matter where agency is permissible. However, if he cooperates with his brothers, saying, "Let us all cooperate to keep track," there is no harm in that. But the responsibility must not be left to another; he is the one responsible. He should count the tawaf himself and be mindful of the tawaf as a whole. If he doubts whether he performed six or seven rounds, he should perform a seventh. Likewise, with the jamarat, if he doubts whether he performed six or seven, he should perform a seventh. He should act based on certainty and the lesser number until he exits the obligation with certainty. This is the obligation based on necessity. Yes. I am performing the tawaf for the second time. I performed the tawaf and the sa'y. What is the ruling on them? There are hundreds of people.
