Haa’idha required to leave Makkah while in Ihraam

· 20 Jumada II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a woman gets her Haidh while in Ihraam on the way to Makkah before performing Umrah, even though she was taking tablets to delay her Haidh, and her cycle will only end once she is back in South Africa, what is the way forward if she cannot take any tablets to stop her Haidh as she is also breastfeeding and most tablets will stop her milk production as well?

Answer

If a female in Ihraam does not become Paak from Haidh despite using the tablets, then she will be required to delay her flight until she becomes Paak and completes her Umrah. Only then should she return home otherwise she will remain in a state of Ihraam even after returning home.

However, if she performed her Umrah in a state of Haidh and became Halaal in Makkah Sharif, then a goat will be obligatory as Damm. Her Umrah will be valid with deficiency and will not have to be repeated. [Re:- Fataawa Qaasmiyyah Pg.417 Vol.12] Some scholars have permitted women to act on this ruling due to these circtumstances. [I’laa-us-Sunan Vol.10 Pg.240]
