The questioner : Saleh: What is the rationale for the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the issue of ritual purity from menstruation?
The Shaykh : This hadith.
The questioner : For example, did he see that if she had to delay the group, or if someone...?
The Shaykh : No, that is a different matter. We are speaking of a situation of ease. However, if it happens that a woman is menstruating and her group delays for her sake, and she cannot return, then there is no doubt that his statement is correct: she should wrap herself in a garment and perform tawaf out of dire necessity.
