The ruling on tawaf if one’s wudu’ is broken during it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh Salih, this questioner says: I performed the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), and during the tawaf my wudu' (ablution for prayer) was broken, so I completed that tawaf, as I had only one lap left. What is the validity of this tawaf?

Answer:
This tawaf is not valid; because it became invalid due to the breaking of ritual purity. So you must go out, perform wudu', and start the tawaf anew. This is if the tawaf was for 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) or Hajj (the major pilgrimage). But if it was a voluntary tawaf, the matter is easy. If you repeat it, that is better. And if you leave it, there is nothing upon you. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
