Ritual Impurity During Tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I performed tawaf around the House, but I became ritually impure during the fourth lap. So, if I perform wudu, do I start over from the beginning, or do I resume from the fourth lap?

Answer:
Start over from the beginning, just like prayer. If you become ritually impure during prayer, you restart from the beginning. Tawaf is like prayer. If a person becomes ritually impure during the fourth rak'ah, he restarts from the beginning; he performs wudu and restarts from the beginning. Likewise, if he becomes ritually impure during the fourth, fifth, or sixth lap, he restarts from the beginning; he performs wudu and restarts the tawaf from the beginning.
