What is the ruling if menstruation comes to a woman on the Day of 'Arafah?

The questioner : If menstruation comes to a woman while she is on the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah.

The Shaykh : The ninth of Dhul-Hijjah is the Day of 'Arafah.

The questioner : Yes, the Day of 'Arafah.

The Shaykh : They say 'Arafah so that we understand. Okay. When?

The questioner : She owes nothing.

The Shaykh : So, the question is:

The questioner : If menstruation comes to a woman on the Day of 'Arafah, what is required of her?

The Shaykh : She continues in her Hajj and does what the people do, but she does not perform tawaf (circumambulation) of the House until she is purified.

The questioner : Meaning she stays for the entire period.

The Shaykh : She remains without performing tawaf of the House until she is purified, but she performs ramy al-jamarat (stoning the pillars), performs taqsir (shortening the hair), and spends the night in Mina and Muzdalifah, and she does everything the pilgrim does, except she does not perform tawaf of the House until she is purified.

The presenter : Yes, okay. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Welcome.
