Ruling on interrupting sa'y to perform the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A man was performing sa'y, and the iqamah was called while he had not yet completed the sixth lap. He stopped sa'y to pray, then resumed sa'y from where he had stopped. What is the ruling on his action?

Answer:
His action is valid, if Allah wills. However, the most preferable, best, and safest course is that he should have started this lap from the beginning, returning to al-Safa and starting it from the beginning. But since he started from the place where he prayed and completed the lap, his tawaf and sa'y are valid, if Allah wills.
