The questioner : She says: I performed the obligatory Hajj last year and completed all the rites of Hajj except for the Tawaf al-Ifadah and the Tawaf al-Wada', as a valid legal excuse prevented me from performing them. I returned to my home in Madinah al-Munawwarah, hoping to return one day to perform the Tawaf al-Ifadah and the Tawaf al-Wada'. Due to my ignorance of religious matters, I exited the state of Ihram from everything and did everything that is forbidden during Ihram. I asked about returning to perform the Tawaf, and I was told that it is not valid for you to go to perform the Tawaf, that you have invalidated your Hajj, and that you must repeat it, meaning repeating the Hajj again next year along with slaughtering a cow or a camel. Is this correct? If there is another solution, what is it? Has my Hajj become invalid and must I repeat it? Please inform me of what I must do. May Allah reward you?
The Shaykh : This is also part of the trial that occurs when issuing fatwas without knowledge. In your situation, you must return to Makkah and perform only the Tawaf al-Ifadah. As for the Tawaf al-Wada', you do not have to perform a farewell Tawaf as long as you were menstruating when you left Makkah. This is because a menstruating woman is not required to perform the Tawaf al-Wada', based on the hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father):Sahih al-Bukhari 1755 And in a narration by Abu Dawud: Sahih al-Bukhari 1755 And because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed that Safiyyah had performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, he said: This indicates that the Tawaf al-Wada' is waived for a menstruating woman. As for the Tawaf al-Ifadah, you must perform it. As for the fact that you exited the state of Ihram from everything while ignorant, this does not harm you, because an ignorant person who does something from the prohibitions of Ihram owes nothing. This is based on His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Baqarah 2:286] So Allah said: And based on His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Ahzab 33:5] So all the prohibitions that Allah the Exalted forbade for the one in Ihram, if he does them while ignorant, forgetful, or coerced, he owes nothing. But he must, when his excuse is removed, return and abandon what he has engaged in. Yes.
The questioner : All the prohibitions without exception?
The Shaykh : All the prohibitions without exception.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, if he does them while forgetful, ignorant, or coerced, he owes nothing... When he remembers, knows, or the coercion is removed, he must abandon the prohibition he has engaged in.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The people were ordered to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the lastly thing, before leaving (Mecca), except the menstruating women who were excused.
أمِر الناس بأن يكون ءاخر عهدهم بالبيت إلا أنه خفف عن الحائضto perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Tawaf-al-Wada`) as the lastly thing
أن يكون ءاخر عهدهم بالبيت الطوافThen let her depart.
