What does a woman do if she menstruates before the tawaf of departure?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, during the days of Hajj, it is common for women to experience menstruation before the tawaf of farewell. We were not far from Makkah, but most people are able to go to their countries and then return after the afternoon prayer,
The Shaykh : before the farewell, or before the tawaf of ifadah?
The questioner : the tawaf of ifadah. Is it permissible for them to perform tawaf while menstruating, or is it obligatory for them to return to their countries and then come back for the tawaf of ifadah?
The Shaykh : As for the one for whom it is easy to return, meaning, for example, if she is here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is not permissible for her to perform tawaf while menstruating. She leaves with her family and remains in the state of ihram for whatever remains of it. When she becomes pure, she returns with her mahram. As for the one who cannot return except with hardship, such as from other countries that require a passport and procedures, she may take precautions, meaning she wears a pad, and then performs tawaf, and there is no blame on her. This opinion is the strongest of the opinions. Yes.
