A woman who menstruated before the tawaf of ifadhah and then traveled

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman menstruated before the tawaf of ifadhah, then traveled outside the city because she was committed to the group, and she cannot return to Makkah except with hardship. What is obligatory for her? And is it permissible for her husband to have relations with her?

Answer:
Her husband must not have relations with her, and it is obligatory for her to return. Returning today is easy with modern means of transport, praise be to Allah; it is not like the days of camels. Now, means of transport are available. This is very important; this is an important issue. If she had any attachment to the worldly life, would she not return to it? How could she not return to her Hajj? It is obligatory for her to return and perform the tawaf of ifadhah and the sa'y, if she has sa'y remaining, and then return to her city. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
