The Ruling on the Circumambulation of a Menstruating Woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, in the first question, he and his family performed Hajj, and one of the women with them was menstruating, so they completed the rites. Honorable Shaykh, what is required of them?

Answer:
If she performed the circumambulation of farewell (tawaf al-ifadah) or the circumambulation of 'Umrah while menstruating, then her circumambulation is invalid. Consequently, if it was for 'Umrah, she must go to Makkah and repeat the 'Umrah with circumambulation, walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortening her hair, and she remains in the state of ihram from when she first entered it. Likewise, if the circumambulation was the circumambulation of farewell, it is a pillar of Hajj, so she must return to Makkah and perform it in the prescribed manner, because it is a pillar and her Hajj is not complete without it. Even if a long time has passed, she returns and performs it to complete her Hajj. Yes.
