The ruling on the invalidation of wudu' during tawaf

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if one of them loses his wudu' during tawaf, what should he do? Does he complete the tawaf or not? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the tawaf is invalidated, he stops, goes to perform wudu', and then repeats the tawaf from the beginning. If his purity is invalidated while he is performing tawaf, he stops, leaves the tawaf, goes to perform wudu', and then repeats the tawaf from the beginning. It is like the one whose purity is invalidated while he is praying; if he prays one or two rak'ahs and then becomes impure, he repeats the prayer from the beginning, performs wudu', and repeats the prayer from the beginning. So tawaf is like prayer in this regard: if he becomes impure, he performs wudu' and repeats the tawaf from the beginning if it is obligatory. However, if it is voluntary, he is not required to repeat it.
