MENSTRUATION AND RELATED QUESTIONS : A Woman’s Guide to umrah pilgrimage | Pilgrimage Definition- Basic rituals for Umrah

Menstruation is a normal process which women get every month, so they shoud follow the instructions laid down in such cases.

Question: If a woman puts on Ihram for Umrah and then starts to menstruate, what should she do?

Answer: In the olden days when Ka‘bah was separate from As-Safa and Al-Marwah hills, women wereallowed to do all the rituals of Umrah except Tawaf of Ka‘bah i.e. she can do Sa‘y, cut hair offingertip size (1-2 Cm) and take off Ihram. She had to wait, till menstruation stops, then take bath, puton Ihram again and do Tawaf of Ka‘bah. Nowadays As-Safa and Al-Marwah hills are inside the Al-Masjid Al-Haram, therefore, if a womangets menstruation after putting on Ihram for Umrah, she cannot do Tawaf or Sa‘y. She has to comeout of Ihram. When her menses stops, she should take bath, put on Ihram again to do Umrah.

NOTE: If she had made the intention (Niyyah) that she will finish Ihram if she gets menses, she doesn’t haveany fine. If no such intention (Niyyah) was done, she has to sacrifice a goat or sheep when shefinishes Ihram. Therefore it is advisable that if women are not sure for the time of their menses, they should put on conditional Ihram i.e. make intention that if they will get menses during Ihram, theywill take it off, in that case there is no fine.

Question: If a woman has done Umrah already and gets menses before the first day of Hajj i.e. 8th Dhul-Hijjah,what should she do?

Answer: She should take bath and put on Ihram for Hajj on 8th Dhul-Hijjah and leave for Mina, then to Arafat,Muzdalifah and back to Mina with her group of people. She should complete all the rituals of Hajjexcept Tawafal-Ifadah. If her menstruation has stopped, she should take bath, put on another cleanIhram clothes (if first one is not clean) and do Tawafal-Ifadah and Sa‘y. Finally she should doFarewell Tawaf (Tawafal-Wida‘) before leaving Makkah.

Question: If a woman has done Umrah already and has put on Ihram of Hajj on 8th Dhul-Hijjah and then getsmenstruation, what should she do?

Answer: If a woman gets menstruation after putting on Ihram of Hajj, she should go to Mina in Ihram and thento Arafat, Muzdalifah, and back to Mina. She should do all the rituals of Hajj except Tawafal-Ifadah.When her menstruation stops, she should take bath, put on another Ihram clothes and do Tawafal-Ifadah and Sa‘y. Finally, do Farewell Tawaf (Tawafal-Wida‘) before leaving Makkah.

Question: If a woman is going to do Umrah and Hajj together (Hajjal-Qiran) and she gets menses at Meeqat,what should she do?

Answer: She should take bath and put on Ihram for Hajj. She should go to Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah and doall the rituals of Hajj except Tawafal-Ifadah. When the menses stop, she should take bath, put on another Ihram clothes and do Tawafal-Ifadah and Sa‘y. Her Tawafal-Ifadah will be sufficient to cover the Tawaf of Umrah which she missed due to menses.If she likes to do Tawaf of Umrah also which she has not done because of menses, she can do thatlater on. For this Tawaf of Umrah, she has to put on Ihram outside the Haram boundaries likeTan‘eem (a place about 5 km away from Haram in Makkah). Finally she has to do Tawafal-Wida‘ before leaving Makkah.

Question: If a woman gets menstruation at Mina on 10th Dhul-Hijjah before doing Tawafal-Ifadah, what should she do?

Answer: If a woman gets menstruation on 10th Dhul-Hijjah at Mina, and she has not done Tawafal-Ifadah (Tawafaz-Ziyarah) she has to wait till menses stop. Tawafal-Ifadah is the obligatory part of Hajj andHajj will not be complete without it, so she has to wait (at Makkah, after leaving Mina on 12th or 13th Dhul-Hijjah) till menses stop, then she should take bath, put on another clean Ihram clothes to doTawafal-Ifadah and Sa‘y. Finally Tawafal-Wida‘ before leaving Makkah.
