The menstruating woman when she reaches the miqat: what does she do?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says: Your Eminence! There are questions from travelers, especially those who go to perform the lesser pilgrimage. First: what does a menstruating woman do when she reaches the miqat?
The Shaykh : Wait. If a woman is menstruating and reaches the miqat while intending to perform the lesser pilgrimage, she should take a full ritual bath and enter the consecrated state of pilgrimage. She remains there until she becomes pure. Then, once she is pure, she performs the circumambulation of the Ka'bah, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shaves or shortens her hair. If she fears that her family will return before she becomes pure, she should not enter the consecrated state of pilgrimage. If it turns out that they stay until she becomes pure, she goes to al-Tan'īm and enters the consecrated state of pilgrimage from there. The second question?
