Tawaf
What is the ruling on a pilgrim who has performed tahallul and then remembers that his tawaf was less than seven rounds?
Answer in brief
A tawaf of fewer than seven rounds is not valid. The pilgrim must complete the tawaf, then perform the sa'ie and shave or trim the hair again. He must also pay a dam for cutting his hair before the tawaf and sa'ie were complete. This dam is of the takhyir and taqdir type, meaning a choice between slaughtering a goat in the Haram, giving two cupak of food to each of six poor people in the Haram, or fasting for three days.
Summary written by DHUMY from the Malay original and checked against it.
Merujuk kepada persoalan di atas, tawaf itu tidak sah dan dia wajib mencukupkan tawafnya kemudia melakukan sa'ie dan bercukur atau bergunting rambut. Wajib ke atasnya membayar dam kerana menggunting rambut sebelum sempurna tawaf dan sa'ie.
