The Ruling on the Farewell Tawaf for a Woman in Menstruation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My sister was with us last year for Hajj, and she started menstruating before the farewell tawaf. So we traveled, and she did not perform the farewell tawaf. Is her Hajj valid? And what is the stronger opinion in this issue?
Answer:
Yes, her Hajj is valid, and the farewell tawaf is not obligatory upon her by consensus, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) waived the farewell tawaf for the menstruating woman, as in the hadith of Ibn Abbas: “They were ordered to [leave]”Sahih Muslim 1328a. And when Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) started menstruating during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed after the Hajj, before the departure, that she had started menstruating, he said, “Is she holding us up?” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, she has already left Mina.” He said, “Then let her depart.” And he did not order her to wait for the farewell tawaf, so it was waived.
