If the woman gets her menses or has postnatal bleeding after assuming Ihram
Question:
If the woman gets her menses or has postnatal bleeding after assuming her Ihram is it correct for her to make Tawaf around the House (the ka'bah) or what should she do? Does she have to perform the Farewell Tawaf (Tawaful-Wada)?
Answer:
If she has postnatal bleeding or gets her menses when she arrives for Umrah, she refrains from that (Tawaf) until she becomes pure. Then when she becomes pure, she performs Tawaf and Sa'y, cuts her hair and completes her Umrah. If this occurred after the Umrah or after she assumed Ihram for Hajj on 8th day (of Thul-Hijjah), then she does the acts of Hajj, such as standing at Arafat, staying in Muzdalifah, stoning the pillars and other things as well, such as saying the Talbiyyah and remembering Allah. Then, when she becomes pure, she performs Tawaf and Sa'y for Hajj, and all praise is due to Allah. If she gets her menses after the Tawaf and the Sa'y, and before the Farewell Tawaf, she is not required to perform the Farewell Tawaf, because the menstruating woman and the woman with postnatal bleeding are not obligated to perform the farewell Tawaf.
