Title: abandoned Tawaf after giving it a start

Question: If a person abandoned Tawaf-e-Qudoom after giving it a start, a Dam would be obligatory in case of abandoning most number of its circuits .The rule of action in this respect for a nafl tawaf would be on the lines of Tawaf-e-Qudoom (Ghuniya, Shami). If someone abandoned major part of nafl tawaf and next day performed a nafl tawaf, then does he require offering dam or will this tawaf be substitute for abandoned tawaf? If no, then what would you say if someone performs tawaf next day with an intention to make up abandoned tawaf of day before? Will it be alright?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1729/1023/D=1432) (1) Yes, dam (slaughtering of animal) shall be wajib in nafl tawaf as well. (2) However, when one does nafl tawaf next day it would become suffice the previous one and dam shall be annulled.
