The ruling on tawaf if it is interrupted by congregational prayer

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

Answer:
The safest course is that you start from the Black Stone. You return to the lap in which you were praying and start from the Black Stone. This is the safest, and it is what some scholars have stated: that the prayer interrupted it. Some scholars say no, you complete it from the place where you are, especially in this time of severe crowding and danger, so this action is needed, because he completes it 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 completes it from the place where he prayed. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah grant you success
