What is the ruling on not completing the voluntary tawaf due to illness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person began the voluntary tawaf, then severe fatigue overtook him, and he was unable to continue the tawaf, so he stopped it. What is obligatory for him? Does he have to make it up from the beginning, or is he required to complete what remains, even if a long time has passed, or does he owe nothing?

Answer:
The voluntary tawaf does not require completion, nor does it require making it up. If a person becomes tired, he leaves the tawaf and does not make it up, because it is not obligatory. What is required to be made up is the obligatory tawaf: the tawaf of 'Umrah, or the tawaf of Hajj, or the tawaf of a vow, if he vowed to perform tawaf around the House. This is obligatory, and he must complete it. As for the sunnah tawaf, this person is in a state of ease. If he wishes, he completes it, and that is better. If he wishes, he stops it, and he is not required to complete it, nor is he required to make it up. Yes.
