The menstruating woman performs all the rites of Hajj except the tawaf around the House

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the sister Umm Muram says: As for a woman, if her menstruation comes to her while she is in Hajj in Mina, does she continue with the remaining rites?

Answer:
Yes. If a woman enters the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah, she remains in her ihram while menstruating and does what the pilgrim does: standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah, stoning the pillars, staying overnight in Mina, and shortening the hair. She performs the rites except for the tawaf, which she postpones until she becomes pure and takes a bath, then she performs the tawaf of ifadah. This is because Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when she menstruated with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while in ihram, he said to her: Do what the pilgrim does, except that you do not perform tawaf around the House until you become pure. Yes.
