Example: the pilgrim omitted Hajj saʿi after Tawaf al-Qudum. After the initial Mina rites he returns to Makkah. He performs seven visitation-tawaf circuits, with male ramal in the first three, and then seven one-way saʿi traversals starting at Safa.
Tawaf has seven circuits and saʿi also has seven traversals, but they are different rites. Safa-to-Marwah counts as one traversal; the return counts as a second.
