The reason for the dispensation from the farewell tawaf for a menstruating woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say that the dispensation for a menstruating woman from performing the farewell tawaf was only because she is prevented from entering the mosque due to her menstruation, not because purity is a condition for tawaf. How should one respond to this?
Answer:
He says: This is his statement, but there is no evidence for it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented her, but only from performing tawaf around the House; he did not say, "Do not enter the mosque." He said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1650. As for her entering the mosque to pass through or to fetch something she needs, that is permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated that she does not perform tawaf; he did not say, "Do not enter the mosque." He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1650. By linking tawaf with purity, it indicates that purity is a condition for tawaf. Yes.

but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from your menses).
غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهريdo not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from your menses)
لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري
