Fiqh-us-Sunnah - 5.73

Hadith 5.73.1

Covering One's 'Awrah

The male should cover from the navel to the knee, and the female all her body except her face, hands and feet.
(Tran.) Abu Hurairah reported: "During the Hajj for which Abu Bakr was appointed the leader by Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him), before the Farewell Hajj, Abu Bakr sent me with a group to announce the Day of Nahr - the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah - and to proclaim: 'No idolater nor any naked person shall be allowed to perform tawaf of the Ka'bah after this year.'' (Bukhari and Muslim)

Hadith 5.73.A

One Must Complete Seven Rounds of the Ka'bah

Thus, if one leaves even a single step in any of the seven rounds that round will not be counted. If one is doubtful as to the number of rounds performed, one must assume the least number of rounds, and then complete the seven rounds. In cases where one completes a Tawaf and then finds oneself not so sure about the number of rounds performed, one incurs no penalty nor is required to do anything.

Hadith 5.73.B

One Must Begin and End One's Tawaf at the Black Stone

Hadith 5.73.C

When Making Tawaf the Ka'bah Should Be to the Left of the Person Performing Tawaf

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: "When Allah's Messenger arrived in Makkah, he went to the Black Stone, kissed it, and then walked on its right side. He jogged three rounds and walked the remaining four.'' (Muslim)
