The ruling on the invalidation of wudu' during tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s case, if it continues in the difficult East between the judgment and what? And if the judgment is changed at the beginning, or is it based on the judgment at the beginning, or what? And does the ruling differ in the case of judgment and otherwise?

Answer:
If a Muslim’s ablution is broken while he is performing tawaf, the tawaf is invalid, because one of the conditions for the validity of tawaf is purity. Just as if his ablution is broken during prayer, the prayer is invalid and he must restart it; he goes, performs ablution, comes back, and starts over from the beginning, because the first circuits were invalidated by the breaking of his ablution. Yes.
Whether there is a crowd or no crowd, if there is a crowd, he waits for another time. All twenty-four hours are valid for tawaf. He waits. Some people make it difficult for themselves by entering the crowd, even if they wait, even for a short time until a break appears and that happens for them. So it is the people who make it difficult for themselves. Yes. Otherwise, Allah has made easy for them what He has not made difficult in the religion. If you see a crowd, do not enter it. Be patient until another time. If you see a crowd, stay at the far end of the airport, do not get close to the Ka'bah. Even if you stay at the far end of the airport, or at the far end of the mosque, or even on the roof, the roof of the mosque, Allah makes things easy. Do not enter the crowd. Yes.
