What is the ruling for a woman whose wife menstruated before the sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) and the farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh. I performed Hajj with my wife. I performed Hajj with my wife, then she menstruated after performing the rites, and she still has the farewell tawaf and the sa'y remaining. What is the ruling?

The Shaykh : This question is not precise, because he says she menstruated after performing the rites, which implies that she completed all the rites and only the farewell tawaf remained. But he said she left without performing the farewell tawaf and without performing the sa'y. Does this questioner think that the farewell tawaf has a sa'y?

Another questioner : We came from. Look.

The Shaykh : The departure (from Mina).

Another questioner : Just stay.

The Shaykh : Okay, and sometimes.

Another questioner : Do not forget.

The Shaykh : Is it said that she is a mufridah (one who performs Hajj alone) or a mutamatti'ah (one who combines 'Umrah and Hajj)?

Another questioner : We will go up.

The Shaykh : Mutamatti'ah, meaning she still has the sa'y remaining. So this woman menstruated before the farewell tawaf. When a woman menstruates, the farewell tawaf is dropped from her. But the mistake in this woman's action is that she did not perform the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah. Perhaps she thinks that a woman who menstruates does not perform the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, just as she does not perform tawaf around the House. This is a belief with no basis. So when a woman menstruates and has already performed the tawaf of ifadah (the tawaf of departure), she performs the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and there is no blame on her for that, because the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah does not require ritual purity from menstruation. So now she has the sa'y remaining. It is obligatory for her to perform the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah now. She is not present. She will come, if Allah wills. She will come, even if she is in Egypt, she will come, if Allah wills.
