What is the ruling on one whose wudu' (ablution) is broken during tawaf (circumambulation)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A person performed tawaf around the Ka'bah, and in the fourth lap his wudu' was broken. He went out to perform wudu'. Does he have to start over from the beginning, or does he resume from where he left off?

Answer:
No, no, his tawaf is invalid. If his wudu' is broken, his tawaf is invalid. So, once he performs wudu', he starts over from the beginning, just as a person praying: if his wudu' is broken during the prayer, his prayer is invalid, and he resumes the prayer from the beginning after performing wudu'.
