What is the ruling on sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) for a menstruating woman?

Question:
If a woman menstruates after performing tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), and we then tell her to perform sa'y, since ritual purity is not a condition for it, would this not be considered staying in the mosque?
Answer:
No, that is not the case. She should perform sa'y, and there is no harm in it. She should perform sa'y and complete her 'Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) and Hajj (major pilgrimage), because ritual purity is not a condition for sa'y, and the sa'y area is not required to be free of anyone other than those in a state of ritual purity. The sa'y area is prescribed for both men and women to perform sa'y in, and it does not have the ruling of the mosque regarding the prohibition of menstruating women.
