Is what the pilgrim woman did considered correct, seeing that she doubted the number of rounds of Tawaf, then completed a round and prayed the two rak'ahs of Tawaf after some time had passed since the completion of the first Tawaf?
If someone doubts the number of circuits during circumambulation (tawaf), they should build upon certainty, which is the lesser number. However, after finishing, the doubt should be disregarded. If a woman doubts whether she performed six or seven circuits and completes the seventh circuit after fifteen minutes, her tawaf is valid according to those who do not stipulate continuity between the circuits of tawaf, such as the Hanafis and Shafi'is, and one narration from Ahmad, even though the preponderant opinion is that continuity is stipulated.
