    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 866/540/L=1432) If anyone misses a round of tawaf in Umrah, the whole tawaf will not be invalid, rather he will have to offer one dam (slaughtering animal), but if he performed the tawaf again this dam shall be annulled. وكذا لو ترك الأقل منه ولو شوطاً لزمه دم ولو أعاده سقط عنه الدم (غنية الناسك : 147) Likewise, the complete tawaf ziyarah shall not be invalid due to missing only one round of it. However, one has to give one dam, but if he completes this round within the days of nahr then there will no kaffarah (expiation). Yes, in case of performing it after the days of nahr one sadaqah fitr shall be wajib. ولو ترك منه شوطاً أو شوطين أو ثلاثة فعليه دم فلو أتم الباقى فى أيام النحر فليس عليه شئى ولو أتمه بعدها يلزمه صدقة لكل شوط نصف صاع من بر (غنية 146)
