The ruling on a woman performing the farewell tawaf while menstruating due to ignorance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the female listeners sent two questions to the program. One of them says: I went to perform 'Umrah, and before leaving Makkah al-Mukarramah, I performed the full ritual bath for my menstrual period before seeing the sign of purity, out of ignorance on my part, and I performed the farewell tawaf. Do I owe a sacrificial animal or an expiation for this act? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You owe nothing other than repentance to Allah; because it is not permissible for you to perform tawaf while you have blood; because tawaf is a prayer, and you do not owe a farewell tawaf. A menstruating woman does not owe a farewell tawaf, neither in Hajj nor in 'Umrah. The one who has menstrual blood does not owe a farewell tawaf, neither in Hajj nor in 'Umrah.
Furthermore, 'Umrah does not have an obligatory farewell tawaf. Whoever wishes to perform it does so, and whoever wishes to leave it off does so. The farewell tawaf in 'Umrah is recommended, and not obligatory, according to the correct opinion. As for Hajj, the farewell tawaf is obligatory. However, a menstruating woman does not owe a farewell tawaf, neither in Hajj nor in 'Umrah, until she becomes pure. So if she leaves Makkah while menstruating, she does not owe a farewell tawaf, and it is not permissible for her to perform tawaf while menstruating. This is not permissible. So you must repent to Allah for that, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
