What is the ruling on a woman who uses pills to prevent menstruation, and who, during the arrival tawaf, after she had completed it, saw drops of blood?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman performed Hajj and was using pills to prevent menstruation. During the arrival tawaf, after she had completed it, she saw drops of blood, but it was yellowish discharge or a small amount, and she completed the Hajj. She continued to see this until she traveled. What is obligatory for her, given that she is married?

Answer:
As for the arrival tawaf, it is a recommended practice (sunnah); if it is not valid, there is no harm, because it is a recommended practice. As for the tawaf of departure, purity is required for it. As for the farewell tawaf, it is waived for a menstruating woman. So only the tawaf of departure remains, and she must perform it while in a state of purity. If she performed it while she had blood on her, it remains a debt in her conscience, so she must perform it now, because her Hajj is not complete without it.
