Hadith.2805 - It was asked: Regarding a man who does not know whether he has performed three or four rounds of tawaf. Imam (as) said: "Was it a voluntary tawaf or an obligatory one?" The questioner replied: "Please answer for both cases." Imam (as) said: "If it was a voluntary tawaf, you may continue from wherever you choose. If it was an obligatory tawaf, you must repeat the entire tawaf. If you performed an obligatory tawaf and are unsure whether you completed six or seven rounds, repeat your tawaf. However, if you have already left and missed the chance to repeat it, there is no obligation upon you."
2805 - وَ سُئِلَ : عَنْ رَجُلٍ لاَ يَدْرِي ثَلاَثَةً طَافَ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً قَالَ «طَوَافُ نَافِلَةٍ أَوْ فَرِيضَةٍ» قَالَ أَجِبْنِي فِيهِمَا جَمِيعاً قَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ طَوَافَ نَافِلَةٍ فَابْنِ عَلَى مَا شِئْتَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ طَوَافَ فَرِيضَةٍ فَأَعِدِ اَلطَّوَافَ فَإِنْ طُفْتَ بِالْبَيْتِ طَوَافَ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ وَ لَمْ تَدْرِ سِتَّةً طُفْتَ أَوْ سَبْعَةً فَأَعِدْ طَوَافَكَ فَإِنْ خَرَجْتَ وَ فَاتَكَ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ.
