If one’s wudu’ is broken during the last lap of tawaf, and the tawaf is heavily crowded, does he perform wudu’ and start from the beginning of the lap?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that if his wudu’ is broken during tawaf, even if it is in the last lap, he must start from the beginning after purifying himself. Does this also apply to the pilgrim who finds severe crowding or severe fatigue? If his wudu’ is broken in the last lap, does he also start over? There is no doubt that if his wudu’ is broken for any reason, whether due to crowding or otherwise,

Answer:
if his wudu’ is broken, his tawaf is invalid. It is like if his wudu’ is broken during prayer. Suppose there is severe crowding in the prayer and his wudu’ is broken; would you say the prayer is valid because of the crowding? No, crowding does not drop the condition.
