Performing the prayer during tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the prayer is called for during tawaf, and the person performing tawaf stops in the middle of a lap to perform the prayer, does he resume after the prayer from where he stopped? And does the ruling differ depending on whether there is heavy crowding or not?

Answer:
They have stated in their texts that the lap in which he prayed is invalidated; it is voided, and he starts it anew from the Black Stone. As for the laps before it, they are valid.
