A woman who reached the miqat while menstruating: should she enter the state of ihram or not, and what should she do if she becomes pure before or after the Day of Tarwiyah?

The questioner : What should a woman who reached the miqat while menstruating do?

The Shaykh : Yes, she enters the state of ihram.

The questioner : She enters the state of ihram. What should she do if she becomes pure before the Day of Tarwiyah?

The Shaykh : If it is before the Day of Tarwiyah, she performs tawaf.

The questioner : She performs tawaf.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : And she was in the state of ihram for 'Umrah, so she performs tawaf?

The Shaykh : She performs tawaf to complete her 'Umrah.

The questioner : And what should she do if she becomes pure after the Day of Tarwiyah and she was in the state of ihram?

The Shaykh : Her Hajj becomes Hajj Ifrad.

The questioner : To Hajj?

The Shaykh : Ifrad.

The questioner : Ifrad.

The Shaykh : So she performs all the rituals except the tawaf of arrival. Then, when she becomes pure at 'Arafah, Muzdalifah, or in Mina, she descends and performs the tawaf of Ifadah, and thereby her Hajj is completed. Then, after that, she goes out to al-Tan'im and performs the 'Umrah that she missed.

The questioner : Okay, but a woman came to the miqat and thought that when she reached Makkah in a few days she would become pure, so she declared her intention for 'Umrah. Then the Day of Tarwiyah came and she had not become pure. What should she do with the 'Umrah for which she declared her intention?

The Shaykh : I told you, she converts her 'Umrah to Hajj, the opposite of one who declared his intention for Hajj alone, who converts his Hajj to 'Umrah.

The questioner : And she performs 'Umrah?

The Shaykh : After Hajj.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you.
