    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1755/1659=D/1429)

     

    Going from Safa to Marwa is one round, and then going from Marwa to Safa is second round. Thus there are seven rounds in the Sa?i out of which first four rounds are fardh (obligatory) and last three rounds are wajib (necessary). If you, as per the ways mentioned above, have done only five rounds in one Sai, so two rounds of each was left. Your Sai is valid, but in return of the every missed round, you will have to give sadqah of 1.633 kg wheat or its price. Each of you should pay the expiation of every two rounds of each Umrah.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
