The menstruating woman who is required to travel before performing the Tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a woman’s stay in Makkah coincides with her menstruation during the days of Hajj, and she is required to travel with the group, and she has not yet performed the Tawaf, what is obligatory for her in that case?
Answer:
It is obligatory for her not to perform the Tawaf until she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath. If it is difficult for her to remain in Makkah after her companions have departed, she may leave with them without having performed the Tawaf. When she becomes pure, her guardian and mahram should bring her back so she can perform the Tawaf. Today, this is very easy; airplanes and cars are very fast. Yes. If she leaves on the condition that she will return to complete her rites when she becomes pure, there is no harm. However, if she leaves before completing her rites and does not intend to return, it is not permissible for her to do so. She should remain in Makkah. Praise be to Allah, matters are facilitated today, and praise be to Allah, security is available, there is no fear for her, and fast means of transportation exist. It is not like the past, when people would take months traveling on mounts. Yes.
