The ruling on a woman who menstruated on the Day of 'Arafah and did not perform the circumambulation for exiting ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. The questioner says in his second question. We ask Your Eminence the Shaykh for permission not to repeat it, because it is about a woman who had her menstruation on the Day of 'Arafah, so what is required of her, and she was unable to perform the circumambulation for exiting ihram, and they are going to travel?

Answer:
She should be patient, and others should be patient. Even if the companions travel, he should be patient. Her mahram, her husband, should be patient. Her mahram. Praise be to Allah, everything is close. There are many airplanes, many cars, and security is present. Praise be to Allah, he should be patient. When Safiyyah said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "I have menstruated," he said, "Are you going to hold us up out of modesty?" He was informed that she would hold them up, meaning she would travel to Madinah. He said, "No, I have already exited ihram." He said, "Be happy." So he stayed with her, and her brother, her uncle, or her husband, until she became pure. As for an extreme hardship, he goes to Ta'if, or Jeddah, or Madinah. An extreme hardship is better than going with them. Her wali brings her back, or her brother, or her husband, and she performs the circumambulation. But her husband does not approach her until she has performed the circumambulation. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
