Question:
And now, my brothers, we have questions regarding the topic of Hajj only. The questioner, a woman, says: I entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah as a mutamatti'ah, and I am menstruating and have not become pure yet. What should I do?
Answer:
Rather, delay the Hajj along with the 'Umrah. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) entered ihram with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for 'Umrah, and when she came from Makkah, the time for Hajj arrived. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: So you take a bath and enter ihram for Hajj along with your 'Umrah. And you are the same; go out for Hajj now, go out for Hajj and you will be a qarinah, and praise be to Allah. And when you become pure, you will perform tawaf, and your Hajj and 'Umrah will both be completed. Seven circuits around the House is this tawaf, seven circuits from the Black Stone to the Black Stone, seven, then the prayer of two rak'ahs behind the Maqam Ibrahimi or in the rest of the mosque, in any place in the mosque, two rak'ahs. And here, from the Maqam Ibrahimi, if it is facilitated at the Maqam Ibrahimi, that is better, otherwise in the rest of the mosque. Then sa'y, seven circuits also from al-Safa to al-Marwah, from al-Safa to al-Marwah is his sa'y, and the return from al-Marwah to al-Safa is his sa'y until he completes seven. This is the tawaf of sa'y. He mentions the weakness and the tawaf and says Allahu Akbar and makes du'a. He says takbir at the Black Stone and kisses it and touches it if it is facilitated. And if he points to it from afar and says takbir, and so does the Yemeni, he touches it if it is facilitated. He says Bismillah and Allahu Akbar. And when he passes, he completes seven circuits, remembering Allah in them, making du'a, and reciting the Qur'an if it is facilitated until he completes seven circuits. Everyone who is in the crowd says takbir, and if it is facilitated for him to touch it, he touches it with his hand and kisses it. If he cannot kiss it, he kisses his hand. He touches it with his hand and kisses his hand. This is the well-known practice until he completes seven. Then he prays two rak'ahs in any part of the mosque, even if it is in the open area in the Haram, the two rak'ahs are sufficient. Even if it is in the camp in the Haram, at the place of the camels, at the place of the crowd. And if he prays behind the Maqam Ibrahimi and this is facilitated, then this is better. And the sa'y after that. This is for the mutamatti', the qarin, and the mufrid. But the mutamatti' who exited from his 'Umrah, performed tawaf and sa'y, and exited from it before Hajj, has a second sa'y upon him. If he performed the tawaf of arrival, as for the qarin and the mufrid, they have one sa'y upon them. If he performed sa'y before Hajj, that is sufficient. And if he did not perform sa'y before Hajj, he performs sa'y after Hajj with the tawaf, and praise be to Allah. And upon the mutamatti' and the qarin is one hady, one sacrificial animal, slaughtered on the day of 'Id or after it because of the tamattu', by His saying (Mighty and Majestic): "And whoever performs 'Umrah before Hajj, then let him take as hady what he can find..." Yes.
