What must a woman who performed Hajj do if her intention in Mina was to combine Tawaf Al-Ifadah with Tawaf Al-Wada', but she now suspects that her intention in Mecca was only for Tawaf Al-Wada'?
It is permissible to delay the Ifadah circumambulation ( al-Ifadah) to be performed with the Farewell circumambulation (Tawaf al-Wada') with a single intention. And the inquirer's Hajj is valid, as long as the doubt about distinguishing between the two circumambulations occurred after their completion, because doubt after an act of worship does not affect its validity. This is also because the Farewell circumambulation suffices for the Ifadah circumambulation according to the Shafi'i school, even if it was not intended. It is recommended to disregard obsessive thoughts and engage in seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) and remembrance of Allah ().
