The Ruling on the Menstruating Woman Who Did Not Perform the Tawaf of Farewell

Question:
And may Allah bless you. The sister is Egyptian and resides in Jeddah. She says: A woman started menstruating and did not perform the Tawaf of Farewell. She lives outside the Kingdom, and the time for her departure has arrived, but she is unable to delay. It is impossible for her to return a second time. So what should she do?

Answer:
The Tawaf of Farewell is necessary; because it is a pillar of Hajj. If she is able to come with her mahram (male guardian) and complete her Hajj, she performs the Tawaf of Farewell; so it is necessary, because her Hajj is not complete without it. I do not think it would be difficult today, praise be to Allah, He has made transportation available. Praise be to Allah, and distances have become shorter. I do not think it would be difficult, if Allah wills. She comes, and if she is unable to perform the Tawaf of Farewell, she is carried and the Tawaf is performed for her while she is being carried. As for if it is ultimately impossible and she cannot come, she appoints someone to perform the Tawaf of Farewell on her behalf due to necessity and dire need. Yes.
