What is the ruling on a menstruating woman performing the Tawaf of Ifadah and the Farewell Tawaf?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman performed the Tawaf of Ifadah and the Farewell Tawaf while she had an excuse, and this was five years ago. Since she was engaged to be married and did not get married, what is required of her? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
She does not have to perform the Farewell Tawaf; a menstruating woman is not required to perform the Farewell Tawaf, if the intention is the Farewell Tawaf, meaning she is not required to perform the Farewell Tawaf. Her Tawaf was a mistake, an error; the Tawaf of Ifadah is not valid for a menstruating woman. She must wait until her menstruation ends and she performs the full ritual bath, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
for the menstruating womanللحائض
but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from your menses).غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري،
Sahih al-Bukhari 1650
If she performed Tawaf while menstruating, her Tawaf is not valid. If she was engaged to be married, the contract is not valid; because she was still in the state of ihram, the contract is not valid. She must perform the Tawaf of Ifadah; she should return and perform the Tawaf of Ifadah, and walk between al-Safa and al-Marwah.
