Question 106611

If the pilgrim does tawaaf al-ifaadah and forgets one of the circuits, and he does not realize until after he has left the Sacred Mosque, what is the ruling?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

If the pilgrim does tawaaf al-ifaadah and forgets one of the circuits, and a long time has passed, then he should repeat the tawaaf, but if only a short time has passed, then he should do the circuit that he forgot. 

And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
