The invalidation of wudu' during tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I was in the fifth lap of the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), but due to the crowd of pilgrims, my wudu' (ablution for prayer) was broken. I completed the tawaf and did not go back to repeat it. What is the validity of my action?

Answer:
Purity is a condition for the tawaf, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the tawaf, which is the report narrated by Ibn 'Abbas, and it is considered a report traced to the Prophet:
Circumambulation of the House is prayer, exceptالطواف بالبيت صلاة إلا
Sunan ad-Darimi 5:61
You are speaking about it. So if his wudu' is broken while he is performing the tawaf, he goes to perform wudu' and returns to start over from the beginning. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Salih, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge. We ask Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, to benefit us all with what we hear.
