Is the sunnah of idtibaa' in all rounds of tawaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does idtibaa' in the tawaf of 'Umrah include all rounds of tawaf, or is it limited to the first three rounds?

Answer:
Idtibaa' in all of tawaf: the tawaf of arrival in Hajj and 'Umrah, the tawaf of arrival, one performs idtibaa' in all of tawaf, and that is to place the middle of his cloak under his right armpit, and its ends on his left shoulder, and uncover his right hip—his right shoulder—this is idtibaa', he places the middle of the cloak under his right armpit, and its end on his left shoulder, specifically in the tawaf of arrival, from its beginning to its end.
So when he finishes, he arranges the cloak on his shoulders, and prays the prayer of tawaf after he arranges the cloak on his shoulders, so that he does not uncover them, he arranges the cloak on his shoulders after finishing tawaf, and this is specifically in the tawaf of arrival.
As for the tawaf of ifadah and the tawaf of farewell: there is no idtibaa', and no ramal in them, and ramal is also in the tawaf of arrival, ramal in the tawaf of arrival in Hajj and 'Umrah.
And ramal is only in the first three rounds, as for idtibaa' it is in all seven, and as for ramal—which is khubb, meaning: speed in walking—in the first, second, and third round specifically, in the tawaf of arrival he khubs without running and above walking, and he walks in the four in the tawaf of arrival specifically, in the first, second, and third.
As for idtibaa', it is in all seven rounds in the tawaf of arrival, but he does not do this in the tawaf of ifadah, nor in the tawaf of farewell, nor in the other tawafs, rather this is specific to the tawaf of arrival.
