What is Tawaf, and how many circuits does it have?

Tawaf means performing seven continuous circuits around the Kaaba, moving counterclockwise so that the Kaaba remains on the left side.

The number of circuits is exactly 7—no more, no less. Intentionally performing fewer or more circuits invalidates the Tawaf.
