Doubting the number of rounds of Tawaf

Q 4: During Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj), my father and I were counting the rounds of Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah). After we finished, my father said that we had performed seven rounds, but I said that they were only six. He was adamant that they were seven, then we left the Al-Haram (all areas within the Sacred Sanctuary of Makkah) because my father insisted. Is this Tawaf valid or not?

A: Anyone who doubts the number of the rounds of Tawaf should build on certainty, which is the least number and complete what is doubted to be missing. Accordingly, you should repeat the Tawaf which you did not complete.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
