What the menstruating woman does in Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What does a woman do if her period comes on while she is performing Hajj?
Answer:
There is no harm. If a woman’s period comes on before entering the state of ihram, she enters ihram while menstruating. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Asma bint Umayyad to enter ihram while she was in post-natal bleeding; she had given birth at the miqat while on Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he ordered her to enter ihram. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) started menstruating after she had entered ihram, so he said to her:Sahih al-Bukhari 305. Therefore, menstruation does not affect the ihram, whether it occurs before or after entering ihram. However, when she reaches Makkah, she does not enter the Sacred Mosque and does not perform tawaf until she is pure.
As for standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah, staying overnight at Mina, and stoning the pillars, she does all of this, O menstruating woman, without any harm. Yes.

So do what all the pilgrims do except that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba till you are clean.
