Question:
This questioner says: From observation. Also. The questions have been asked many times. Yes, it is ten o'clock, if Allah wills. It is ten o'clock. The days of Hajj, and may Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, make you among those whose deeds Allah has accepted, and make your gathering a gathering of good. They listen to the statement and then follow the best of it. In this session with Your Eminence the Shaykh, we ask his permission to present your accumulated questions now. This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, we performed Hajj as tamattu' pilgrims, and we performed the rites of 'Umrah, then we went to Mina on the seventh day of Dhu al-Hijjah, and we entered the state of ihram from Mina on the morning of the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah. After the midday prayer, my wife began her monthly period. Then we performed the rites of Hajj, and nothing remained for us except the Tawaf of Ifadah and the Sa'y. We have small children in Jeddah with my brother, among them a baby. Should we remain until the woman becomes pure, or should we go to Jeddah, and after she becomes pure, we return with her, and she performs the Tawaf and Sa'y? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
Remaining in Makkah or not, if it is facilitated regarding changes and events, she is patient with her guardian, with her mahram, this is the most cautious. She is, if it is facilitated, then after the Tawaf she goes alone to Paradise, but if there is a dire necessity, she goes and returns. If there is a dire necessity, as long as the child is with someone who is relied upon and takes care of his affairs, there is no harm in leaving the baby with his noble one.
But if there is a dire necessity, there is no harm in her going and returning, with the caution that her husband does not approach her until she returns to perform the Tawaf; her husband does not approach her. But some people, when they go, they are lenient in coming, they are lenient in returning, perhaps her husband comes to her at a time of danger. So remaining in Makkah until it ends is better, more preferable, and safer. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
