What happens if you just circle the Kaaba in a helicopter or something? Does it still count?
What if you only go round six times? Do you just get 85.714% of the benefits?
What if you sort of hop a bit on the third turn, or stand on a sharp pebble and can't continue?
If you go round clockwise five times and counter-clockwise twelve, does that equal the regulation seven times counter-clockwise?
What if you walk round the Kaaba seven times counter-clock wise but from a distance of, say, three hundred yards away? Does that still count? No? What about two hundred and fifty yards?
And more generally, if you don't face exactly towards Mecca when praying, is that bad? What if you're only 10 degrees out? Is that OK? What about 11 degrees?
Please don't think I'm insulting Islam especially: I make a point to insult all religions equally. I'll get onto Hinduism in my next life.

I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty.
