The Case of Woman Who Experiences Menses After Entering Tawaf

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who performs Tawaf for al-Hajj or al-‘Umrah, then experiences Hayd (menses) before performing the two Rak‘at Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘When she becomes clean, she must perform two Rak‘at Salat (prayer) near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam and her Tawaf is complete.”’

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman experiences Hayd (menses) when performing Tawaf or Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and begins to experience Hayd (menses) after passing half of Tawaf, she marks that point. After becoming clean she can return to that place and continue to complete the remaining part of Tawaf; but if experiencing Hayd (menses) begins before half of Tawaf is complete, she must do her Tawaf all over again.’”

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about the case of a woman who performs Tawaf and after the fifth Tawaf begins to experience Hayd (menses). He (the Imam) said, ‘If a woman begins to experience Hayd (menses) when performing Tawaf or Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah after passing half of Tawaf, she can mark that point. (After becoming clean she can return to that place and continue to complete the remaining part of Tawaf) but if she discontinues Tawaf before half of it is complete, she must do her Tawaf all over again.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman who is to perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) if during Tawaf after passing fourth (round of) Tawaf experiences Hayd (menses) her al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) is complete.’”
