A Woman’s Menstruation During Hajj and Travel Before the Tawaf

Question:
May Allah suffice you. This questioner asks: If a woman menstruates on the eighth day and completes her Hajj, except for the Tawaf of Ifadah and the Sa’i of Hajj, is it permissible for her to leave the Haram and then return when she is purified to complete her Hajj, given that she is in the company of people, or must she keep them waiting?

Answer:
If it is possible for her mahram to stay with her, she should stay. And what is recommended is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Safiyyah when she said, “You have kept us waiting”: if it is feasible, let him stay with her. It is safer and more secure for her to have her mahram with her until she is finished. However, if they are compelled to travel with her to Ta’if, Jeddah, or Madinah, and return with her after she is purified, there is no harm. But her husband must not have relations with her. Does she have a husband? He must not have relations with her until she returns, performs the Tawaf, and departs. But whenever it is possible for her to stay, that is more expeditious and safer. Her mahram stays with her. Yes.
