Chapter on What is Obligatory for Someone Who Shortens a Circuit in the Hijr

I said to Abu Abdullah (as), "A man performed tawaf around the Kaaba but shortened one circuit by passing through the Hijr (Hijr Ismail). What should he do?" Imam (as) said: "He must repeat that one circuit."

Hadith.2807 - In a narration from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, from Imam (as): "Whoever shortens their tawaf by passing through the Hijr (Hijr Ismail) must repeat their tawaf starting from the Black Stone."

I wrote to Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha (as) about a woman who performed the tawaf of Hajj. During the seventh circuit, she shortened it by passing through the Hijr (Hijr Ismail). She then prayed the two obligatory rak‘ahs, performed the sa‘i, and completed the tawaf of Nisa, then proceeded to Mina. Imam (as) wrote in response: "She must repeat."
