Continuity is not required between the laps of sa'y

Question: A group performed sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, completing five rounds, then they left the sa'y area and did not remember the remaining two rounds until after they had moved to their lodging. What is the ruling?

Answer: As for those who performed five laps of sa'y and then went to their accommodations without remembering the other two laps, they must return to complete the two laps, and there is no blame on them. This is the correct position, because continuity between the laps of sa'y is not required according to the stronger opinion. If they repeat it from the beginning, there is nothing wrong with that, but the correct position is that it is sufficient for them to perform the two laps and complete the sa'y with them.
