Prayer during Tawaf: Completing or Repeating

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the 'Isha' prayer interrupted my tawaf while I was in the fourth round, and I prayed with the congregation, should I complete the tawaf from the place where I stopped and prayed, or should I start the tawaf over from the beginning?

Answer:
The safest course is for you to start from the Black Stone. You start this round in which you prayed; when you return, you start from the Black Stone. This is the safest, and it is what some scholars have stated, because the prayer interrupted your tawaf.
Some scholars say, no, you complete from the place where you are, especially in this time of severe crowding and danger, where this action is needed, that he completes from the place where he began. As for if there is space, he hesitates, goes back, and starts from the Black Stone. But if there is severe crowding and danger, he reaches the place where he prayed. Yes.
