What does a woman do if her menstruation begins on the eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah?

Question:
The woman began the rites of Hajj and they arrived in Makkah on the eighth day, and her period started. What should she do?

Answer:
She does what the pilgrim does. This happened to the mother of the believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her); her period started while she was in the state of ihram, and she wept. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: She performs all the rites of Hajj while menstruating, except for the tawaf, for which she waits until the bleeding stops, then she takes a full ritual bath and performs the tawaf of ifadah. Yes.
