What is the ruling on a voluntary circumambulation (tawaf al-tatawwu') if it is less than seven circuits, without intention or knowledge, and is the circumambulation considered valid in this case?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is recommended to complete seven circuits of a voluntary circumambulation () to earn reward. If one does not complete it without a valid excuse, there is no reward for it. Continuity between the circuits is not obligatory, according to the preponderant opinion, and completing them consecutively is better, but there is no harm in not doing so.
