The questioner : If a person starts tawaf from the Yemeni Corner, what is the ruling on his tawaf?
The Shaykh : If he starts from the Yemeni Corner and completes the final lap up to the Black Stone, then his tawaf is complete, because the most that can be said is that he started the first laps late. However, if he ends at the Yemeni Corner in the final lap, then his tawaf is deficient by the distance between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone. In this case, his tawaf is not valid, and he must complete the seventh lap if he remembers this while still nearby. If a long time has passed, it is obligatory for him to repeat the tawaf from the beginning. Yes.
