He did tawaaf during Hajj inside the Hijr

Question: 109275

I did Hajj for the first time, and when I circumambulated the Ka’bah, in most of the circuits around the Ka’bah I cut it short and omitted the wall that is separate from the Ka’bah bur close to its northern side. What is the ruling on my Hajj?.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

If the tawaaf that you are asking about was tawaaf
al-ifaadah, which is the one that is done after standing in ‘Arafah, then
your tawaaf is not valid and this Hajj is not valid, unless you repeated
this tawaaf, because tawaaf al-ifaadah is one of the pillars or essential
parts of the Hajj. So you have to go back to the Sacred Mosque and
circumambulate the Ka’bah seven times, starting each circuit from the Black
Stone and ending the seventh circuit at the Black Stone, and each circuit
must go outside Hijr Ismaa’eel from behind the wall. Thus your Hajj will
become acceptable. But if the tawaaf in question was the farewell tawaaf,
then you have to offer a sacrifice to be slaughtered in Makkah and given to
the poor, in order to complete your Hajj, but you do not have to go back to
the Ka’bah, and if you do go back it will not waive the obligation to offer
a sacrifice. But if it was a naafil tawaaf, then you do not have to do
anything.

And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send
blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
