The ruling on one who breaks his ritual purity during tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who makes a noise 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 is alone, meaning he purifies himself and repeats the tawaf from the beginning, just like prayer. As for doubts and obsessive thoughts, no, he completes his tawaf and does not heed the obsessive thoughts. But if he is certain and knows that it is a man passing gas or a sound, he performs wudu and repeats the tawaf from the beginning.
