If the ṭawāf (circumambulation) is stopped in order to perform the Prayer for Rain (Ṣalāt al-Istisqā’) while some pilgrims are in their second round, others in their fourth, others in their third, and so on, does this interruption invalidate the ṭawāf or not?
Answer
In the name of Allah, in the situation mentioned, the ṭawāf must be restarted after the completion of the Prayer for Rain. Allah knows best.
