Breaking A Tawaaf To Relieve Oneself

Question

What must you do if you need to go to the toilet while making tawaaf, can you go toilet and continue from where you stopped?

Answer

In such an instance, you should make a new Wudhu and perform the Tawaaf afresh, from the beginning. This will apply if you have not performed majority of the Tawaaf prior to your “break”. However, in the event that you have already performed four or more circuits of the Tawaaf prior to your “break”, you will be permitted to continue from where you have left off.
