The Circumambulation of a Woman in Menstruation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a woman to perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) while she is menstruating? Is the correct view that tawaf does not require ritual purity?

Answer:
It is correct that ritual purity is required for it; these are the evidences. A menstruating woman does not perform tawaf. How can a menstruating woman perform tawaf when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from your menses).غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري
Sahih al-Bukhari 1650
