Wudhu Breaking During Tawaaf

Question

When you perform Tawaf, and your wudhu breaks, do you have repeat the entire Tawaf?

If not, can you complete the number rounds left?

Answer

When your Wudhu breaks you don’t have to repeat the entire Tawaaf again.

You can complete your Tawaaf from where you left it e.g. you completed 3 rounds, then you left to make Wudhu; so when you return you should begin with the 4th round.
