The Farewell Tawaf for a Menstruating Woman After 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A woman performed 'Umrah, and she is currently menstruating, and she is traveling tomorrow. Is it permissible for her to perform the farewell tawaf?
Answer:
A woman does not have a farewell tawaf, even if she did have one. A menstruating woman does not owe a farewell tawaf; a menstruating woman has no farewell tawaf required of her, not even in Hajj. There is no farewell tawaf required of her in Hajj, just as the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas in the two Sahihs shows:. A menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding do not owe a farewell tawaf, neither in Hajj nor in 'Umrah. 'Umrah does not have a mandatory farewell tawaf. If one performs it, there is no harm; if one does not perform it, there is no harm. It is not like Hajj. 'Umrah is prescribed at all times.
