There is no farewell tawaf for a menstruating woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, last year my wife performed Hajj and completed all the rites of Hajj except for the farewell tawaf, because her menstruation started before the farewell tawaf. What is the ruling, given that she did not perform the tawaf?

Answer:
She owes no farewell tawaf. A menstruating woman owes no farewell tawaf. In the hadith:
The people were commanded (by the Holy Prophet) to perform the last circumambulation round the House, but menstruating women were exempted.أمروا أن يكون آخر عهدهم بالبيت إلا أنه خفف عن المرأة الحائض،
Sahih Muslim 1328a
A menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding owe no farewell tawaf. Yes.
