Entering into Ihraam in the state of haidh

Question

What should a female do if her period commences during the hajj or while she is on the way for hajj?

Answer

She should enter into ihraam in the state of haidh. However, it is impermissible for her to enter the musjid in the state of haidh. After the haidh terminates, she can enter the musjid and perform her umrah in the case where she is performing Tamattu Hajj.

If she is performing Qiraan Hajj, then she can enter the musjid and perform her umrah and thereafter the Tawaaf-e-Qudoom.

If she is performing Ifraad Hajj, then she can enter the musjid and perform her Tawaaf-e-Qudoom.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

قال الشامي : قوله ( لا يمنع نسكا ) أي شيئا من أعمال الحج قوله ( إلا الطواف ) فهو حرام من وجهين دخولها المسجد وترك واجب الطهارة تنبيه قدمنا عن المحيط أن تقديم الطواف شرط صحة السعي فعن هذا قال القهستاني فلو حاضت قبل الإحرام اغتسلت وأحرمت وشهدت جميع المناسك إلا الطوف والسعي اه أي لأن سعيها بدون طواف غير صحيح فافهم (رد المحتار 2/528)

وحيضها لا يمنع نسكا إلا الطواف فهو حرام من وجهين: دخولها المسجد وترك واجب الطهارة فلو حاضت قبل الإحرام اغتسلت وأحرمت وشهدت جميع المناسك إلا الطواف والسعي لأنه لا يصح بدون الطواف (غنية الناسك صـ 94)
