IRSYAD HUKUM HAJI DAN KORBAN SIRI KE-28 : HUKUM WASWAS PADA BILANGAN TAWAF IFADHAH
Is my tawaf ifadhah valid if I felt doubt about completing seven rounds after I had finished, and do I need to repeat it?
Short answer
Tawaf ifadhah must be completed in seven rounds. If doubt arises about the count while still performing tawaf, a person takes the lowest number that is certain.

Summary
Tawaf ifadhah must be completed in seven rounds. If doubt arises about the count while still performing tawaf, a person takes the lowest number that is certain. If the doubt arises after finishing and leaving the tawaf, nothing is required and the tawaf is valid. The ruling holds the questioner's tawaf valid with no need to repeat it, based on the maxim that certainty is not removed by doubt.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya dia ragu-ragu setelah selesai menunaikan tawaf (dan meninggalkannya) maka tiada apa-apa ke atas dirinya (tawafnya sah)
