If a woman menstruates before entering the state of ihram and wants to perform 'Umrah or Hajj, what is required of her?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh Muhammad?
The Shaykh : O Allah, praise be to Him.
The questioner : May Allah bless your life, Shaykh Muhammad, and bless us through you. Regarding the question, I have several questions about Hajj. Please, about Hajj, please. If a woman menstruates before entering the state of ihram, does she perform the sa'y of Hajj when she arrives in Makkah, or does she delay it until after the tawaf of ifadah when she is pure? And what is required of her if her purity is delayed?
The Shaykh : If she menstruates before entering the state of ihram.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then, if she wishes, she enters the state of ihram from the miqat if she is determined to perform 'Umrah or Hajj; she enters the state of ihram from the miqat even if she is menstruating. She recites the talbiyah and makes du'a'. However, if she reaches Makkah before she becomes pure, she does not perform tawaf and she does not perform sa'y.
The questioner : She does not perform tawaf and she does not perform sa'y.
The Shaykh : She does not perform sa'y until she becomes pure, because Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated before reaching Makkah, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Do what the pilgrim does, except that you do not perform tawaf around the House, and in another narration, and do not perform sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah until you become pure.
The questioner : Yes, even if her purity is delayed, Honorable Shaykh, for example, until the twentieth or twenty-fifth of Dhu al-Hijjah? Yes, that is correct. If it is delayed until that time, does she perform tawaf after that time and perform sa'y?
The Shaykh : When did the menstruation start?
The questioner : Let us assume it started on the seventh day.
The Shaykh : From the seventh to the twentieth, we have spoken of fourteen days.
The questioner : Thirteen.
The Shaykh : These thirteen complete fifteen days, fifteen.
The questioner : That is, if it started with me on the seventeenth and we add fifteen days to it.
The Shaykh : How the seventeenth? Why the seventeenth? We do not know if she is pure on the seventeenth.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : It came, may Allah preserve you, on the seventh day. Add fifteen days to it, that is twenty-two days of the month. After twenty-two, she takes a bath and prays.
The questioner : And she performs tawaf and sa'y.
The Shaykh : I see you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh Muhammad?
The Shaykh : O Allah, praise be to Him.
