Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 188
Answer: If a woman experiences menses whilst performing Ṭawāf
she must discontinue the Ṭawāf immediately irrespective of whether
she had performed four rounds or less than four. It is not permissible
to perform Ṭawāf or stay in the Masjid in the state of menses. She
must also get out of Masjid-ul-Ḥarām immediately. If possible, she
should perform Tayammum before she exits the Masjid as it is safer
to do so.
If she has experienced menses after she had performed four or more
than four rounds, she must complete the same previously discontinued
Ṭawāf after she has attained cleanness. If she experienced menses
after three or less three rounds, she can still resume her previously
discontinued Ṭawāf. If a woman who was aware of her routine of
menses has experienced menses after performing three rounds of
Ṭawāf, and she had so much time before experiencing menses that
she could have performed four rounds but did not do, she is required
to pay Dam in this case because of delaying four rounds. She would
also be a sinner.
It is stated in Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, ‘If she had so much time that she
could perform Ṭawāf but did not do and has experienced menses or
post-natal bleeding, she is a sinner. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 1145)
However, if she has performed four rounds, she is not required to pay
any penalty because of delaying three rounds because it is Wājib to
perform most part of Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyāraĥ within its stipulated time,
not whole of it.
It is stated in Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, ‘It is one of the Wājib acts of Hajj to
perform most part of Ṭawāf Ifāḍaĥ during the days of ritual sacrifice.
The Ṭawāf performed on returning from ‘Arafāt is called Ṭawāf
Ifāḍaĥ and its other name is Ṭawāf-uz-Ziyāraĥ. If a person has
performed most part within the stipulated time, he/she can perform
