Doubt regarding the number of circuits of tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he asks: What is the ruling for one who is uncertain about the number of circuits of tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)? And does the uncertainty require him to make it up after a day or two?

Answer:
If the uncertainty is during the tawaf, he completes it. If he is uncertain whether he has done six or seven, he counts them as six and performs the seventh until he is certain that he has passed seven. As for if the uncertainty comes after that, after he has finished his tawaf, there is no action required of him regarding the uncertainty that arises after the fact. This is from Shaytan (Satan). There is no action required for new uncertainty. Likewise, if he prays and then becomes uncertain after the prayer, there is no action required of him.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
