Rulings for a Woman Who Menstruates During Hajj and the Use of Period-Blocking Pills

Question:
The sister Umm Mهند says: What are the rulings concerning a woman if she menstruates while performing the rites of Hajj? And is it permissible for her to take period-preventing pills during this period of Hajj?

Answer:
This is something that happened to the women of the Companions: they would experience menstruation before entering the state of ihram or after entering it. This happened to the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: . So if a woman menstruates before entering ihram and then enters ihram, or if she menstruates after entering ihram, she performs the rituals of Hajj, including standing at 'Arafah, staying overnight at Muzdalifah, staying overnight in Mina during the days of Tashriq, and stoning the pillars. However, she delays the circumambulation of the Ka'bah until she becomes pure; this is the circumambulation of residence. As for the farewell circumambulation, it is waived, and the state of ihram is lifted immediately. Yes.
