The questioner:
This questioner says from the observation.
The Shaykh:
And what about you?
The questioner:
The questions are many.
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is ten o’clock, if Allah wills. It is ten o’clock.
The questioner:
The days of Hajj, and may you be among those whose deeds Allah has accepted, and may He make us those who listen to the statement and then follow the best of it. In this session with Your Eminence the Shaykh? We seek his permission to ask him your accumulated questions now. This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, we performed Hajj as tamattu’ pilgrims and completed 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 menstruation. 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, including an infant. Should we stay until the woman becomes pure, or should we go to Jeddah, and after she becomes pure, we return with her, and she performs tawaf and sa'y? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Staying in Makkah or not? If it is facilitated regarding the changes and events, she is patient, and her guardian is with her, this is the most beneficial. But if it is facilitated, she looks after the tawaf, she separates 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 returns or takes care of his affairs, there is no harm in leaving him.
But if there is a dire necessity, there is no harm in going and returning, with the caution that her husband does not approach her until she returns. She performs tawaf, her husband does not approach her. But some people, when they go, they are lax in their caution, perhaps her husband comes to her at a risk. So staying in Makkah until it ends is better, more preferable, and safer. Yes.
