Q. What should a person do if he/she doubts the number of circuits in the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah of Hajj and the Tawaaf of Umrah?

A. If a person has a doubt regarding the number of circuits performed in the Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarah of Hajj or the Tawaaf of Umrah, then he/she should repeat the circuit in which there had been a doubt. On the other hand, if an upright (Aadil) person confirms the number of circuits he/she performed in Tawaaf, then it is preferable (Mustahab) to follow his opinion; and if two upright (Aadil) people confirm the number of circuits he/she performed in Tawaaf, it will be compulsory (Waajib) to follow their opinion. (Al-Barur-Raaiq 2/356)
