I had a state of ritual impurity during tawaf, performed wudu, and completed the remaining circuits. Is my action valid?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I performed 'Umrah, and during tawaf I had a state of ritual impurity. Then I went out to perform wudu, then I returned and completed the remaining circuits, and I did not restart the tawaf from the beginning. Is my action valid?

Answer:
No, it is not valid. Your wudu was broken, so your tawaf is invalid, just as if you had a state of ritual impurity during prayer, it would be invalid, so you start it over from the beginning. But if this is a past matter that cannot be rectified, then your 'Umrah is valid based on the opinion of those who do not require ritual purity for tawaf. And if someone issued you a fatwa to this effect, you are in the protection of the one who issued the fatwa to you.
