Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person performing tawaf interrupts his tawaf around the House for a long time, does he start over or does he continue?
Answer:
If he interrupted it because of prayer or because his wudu' (ablution) was broken, he does not build upon what came before; he starts over. But if he remained in a state of purity, he builds upon what came before. Yes.
