Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: This is a woman from Africa who was afflicted with menstruation before the Tawaf of Ifadah. Then she did not perform the Tawaf and returned to her country because her visa had expired. She was with a group whose stay had ended. What is required of her, since she is unable to perform Hajj a second time, because this Hajj was an opportunity for her? Does she remain in a state of ihram all these years, and her husband does not enter her, or does she appoint someone?
Answer:
She has exited the state of ihram. She performed the rites and exited with the first exit. She is not in a state of ihram. If one performs the rites and only the Tawaf of the House remains, it becomes the first exit. So she has exited, but it is obligatory for her to perform the Tawaf of Ifadah. Her ritual is not complete except with the Tawaf of Ifadah, because it is a pillar of Hajj, and purity is a condition for the Tawaf. So either she and her guardian wait, and they will have a special and exceptional status regarding the regulations. I do not think, if Allah wills, that they will put her in a difficult position. They will give her a grace period. They will contact the embassy or the consulate, and they will give her a grace period until she completes her Hajj.
