The ruling on one who breaks his ritual purity during tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who passes gas or hears a sound during tawaf? Does he have to repeat it, or does he owe an expiation? And if that happens, does he complete it?

Answer:
If he is certain that he passed gas, he must deal with it, perform purification, and repeat the tawaf from the beginning, just like prayer. As for doubts and obsessive thoughts, no, they do not invalidate his tawaf, and one does not know about obsessive thoughts. But if he is certain and knows that he passed gas or made a sound, he repeats the tawaf, performs wudu, and repeats the tawaf from the beginning.
