What does a woman do if she gets her period during Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question in the letter from the sister, Salihah Muhammad Ali Abu Husayn, from Makkah al-Mukarramah, says: What does a woman do if her period or monthly cycle comes to her during Hajj, and what does a woman in postpartum bleeding do if she gives birth on the day of standing at 'Arafah? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer: Both of these incidents occurred during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) performed Hajj with him, and her period, meaning the monthly cycle, came to her in Makkah before going out to Mina and 'Arafah. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to take a bath for cleanliness and to chant the talbiyah for Hajj along with 'Umrah. She had entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah, and her period came to her at Saraf, a place near Makkah, before she circumambulated and before she walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to chant the talbiyah for Hajj, and to leave the 'Umrah, so that she would be performing Hajj and 'Umrah together (qarin). She did so. When she circumambulated and walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah on the day of 'Id, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her:Bulugh al-Maram 774 He informed her (peace and blessings be upon him) that this work of hers was sufficient for her for both Hajj and 'Umrah, which is the circumambulation and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah; because she had entered the 'Umrah within the Hajj, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 932Sahih (Darussalam) This is the case of the menstruating woman if her period comes to her before she circumambulates and walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah for the 'Umrah. She chants the talbiyah for Hajj, and enters ... the 'Umrah, and she becomes qarin, and her work is one: she circumambulates for her Hajj and 'Umrah in one circumambulation of seven circuits, and she walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah in one walk of seven circuits, and this is sufficient for her Hajj and 'Umrah.
As for if her period comes to her after she has completed the 'Umrah, by having circumambulated, walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah, cut her hair, and exited the state of ihram, and then her period comes to her before she goes out to Mina, or in Mina, or in 'Arafah, then she completes the Hajj. She does what the pilgrims do, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'A'ishah:Sahih al-Bukhari 305, so he ordered her to do what the pilgrims do, except that she does not circumambulate until she becomes pure.
So she stands with the people at 'Arafah, remembering Allah and making supplication, and she stands with them at Muzdalifah, remembering Allah and making supplication. She stons the pillars on the day of 'Id, and so on the days after it, the days of Tashriq. She spends the nights in Mina for the days of Mina. She does everything the pilgrims do, except that she does not circumambulate. She remains from the circumambulation until she becomes pure. When she becomes pure, she takes a bath and circumambulates for her Hajj and walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah. This is what is prescribed for the one who is afflicted with the monthly cycle, which is menstruation. This menstruation does not prevent her from anything except the circumambulation. It is better to delay the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah with it. When she becomes pure, she circumambulates and walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, even if it is after the days of Mina. That does not harm her. As for if the menstruation comes to her before she exits the state of ihram from the 'Umrah, the explanation has already been given, that she chants the talbiyah for Hajj along with the 'Umrah and becomes qarin, and the circumambulation and walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah are sufficient for both matters, for both Hajj and 'Umrah, as mentioned before.
As for the woman in postpartum bleeding, she is like the menstruating woman. That happened to Asma bint 'Umayd, for she gave birth at the miqat during the Hajj of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, her son Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr al-Siddiq, and she gave birth to him at Dhul-Hulayfah. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to take a bath, meaning for cleanliness, and to use something to stop the blood for her, and to chant the talbiyah with the people. So she did, may Allah be pleased with her and grant her satisfaction. She took a bath, chanted the talbiyah with the people, and performed Hajj with the people. But she did not circumambulate or walk between al-Safa and al-Marwah until she became pure, just as in the case of the menstruating woman. She does what the pilgrims do of chanting the talbiyah and remembrance, standing at 'Arafah on the ninth day, spending the night at Muzdalifah on the night of the tenth, stoning the pillars on the day of 'Id and after it, and spending the nights in Mina for the days of Mina. The woman in postpartum bleeding does all of this like the menstruating woman and like the pure women. But the circumambulation and walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah remain upon her. When she becomes pure from her postpartum bleeding, even if it is after days in Mina, she circumambulates and walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah for her Hajj, and praise be to Allah, just as Asma bint 'Umayd did by the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

Your Tawaf by the Ka'bah and your Sa'i between Safa and Marwah is sufficient for both your Hajj and 'Umrah
طوافك بالبيت وبين الصفا والمروة يكفيك لحجك وعمرتكUmrah has been entered into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.
دخلت العمرة في الحج إلى يوم القيامةAs for if her period comes to her after she has completed the 'Umrah, by having circumambulated, walked between al-Safa and al-Marwah, cut her hair, and exited the state of ihram, and then her period comes to her before she goes out to Mina, or in Mina, or in 'Arafah, then she completes the Hajj. She does what the pilgrims do, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'A'ishah:
So do what all the pilgrims do except that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba till you are clean.
افعلي ما يفعل الحاج غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهريSo she stands with the people at 'Arafah, remembering Allah and making supplication, and she stands with them at Muzdalifah, remembering Allah and making supplication.
