The menstruating woman’s sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah) in Hajj al-Tamattu’ (combining ‘Umrah and Hajj with a break between them)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A woman entered the state of ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage) from the miqat (the boundary at which ihram is entered) with the intention of tamattu’ (combining ‘Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), and she made a condition. On the way to the Haram (the sacred precinct), she began menstruating. She entered the Haram and performed sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), but she did not perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah). She had appointed someone to pay the value of the hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage).

The questioner:
A woman began menstruating.

On the way to the Haram (the sacred precinct), she began menstruating. She entered the Haram and performed sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), but she did not perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah). She had appointed someone to pay the value of the hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage). Is there any ruling regarding performing sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) while menstruating? And what exactly should she do to complete her Hajj (the major pilgrimage)? And in what form will this Hajj (the major pilgrimage) be?
The Shaykh:
She will be a woman performing tamattu’ (combining ‘Umrah and Hajj with a break between them). He said: “When they become pure, fear Allah.” If she repeats the sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), that is better. If the sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) does not suffice for her, that is a matter of command, because when it was asked about, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah): “We give it to her.” He said: “There is no harm.” But if she returns, the majority say that the sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) after the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah) is better. Then, if she is in a state of confusion, she continues with her talbiyah (the pilgrim’s chant of response) for the Hajj (the major pilgrimage). She recites the talbiyah (the pilgrim’s chant of response) for the Hajj (the major pilgrimage) and becomes close to completion. When she becomes pure, she performs tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah) and sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah). Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also arrived in a state of menstruation during her ‘Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), just like her. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to combine the Hajj (the major pilgrimage) with the ‘Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage), so she would be close to completion. So you are like her. If you have become pure today, you have performed tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah) and sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and praise be to Allah. Otherwise, you enter the state of ihram (the consecrated state of pilgrimage) for the Hajj (the major pilgrimage) now with every reciter. When you become pure, if Allah wills, you perform tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah) for the Hajj (the major pilgrimage), and you perform sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah). The best is to perform two sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah). If you are satisfied with the first sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), that is sufficient. But the best is to perform the sa’y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) again, as it is the opinion of the scholars. And your Hajj (the major pilgrimage) will be complete, and your ‘Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) will be complete. And you owe the hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage). The hady (the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage) for tamattu’ (combining ‘Umrah and Hajj with a break between them) is one, valid, one. Yes.
