Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to perform sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) before the tawaf (circumambulation) of Ifadah?

Question : And is it permissible for a menstruating woman to perform sa'y before the Tawaf of Ifadhah, with the Tawaf of Ifadhah remaining for her to perform when she becomes pure, such that it would simultaneously serve as the Farewell Tawaf?

Answer : Yes, indeed, it is permissible for a menstruating woman and a non-menstruating woman to perform sa'y before the Tawaf of Ifadhah, but it is better to begin with the Tawaf and perform sa'y afterwards. This suffices as the Farewell Tawaf if a person makes it the last thing he does when leaving, meaning that performing sa'y after the Tawaf does not prevent the Tawaf from being the last act, because this sa'y is attached to the Tawaf.
