A woman did not perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah

Q: What is the ruling if a woman menstruates before performing Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj), in spite of her taking menstruation-prevention pills? It should be added that after she returned home her husband had sexual intercourse with her. She offered Hajj before in 1409 A.H. And she works in Najran in the Kingdom. Can she perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah next year or at any time? Is she required to perform only Tawaf or perform Tawaf along with offering Dam (sacrificial animal offered as an atonement)? Does offering Dam suffice? Or is there nothing required of her? Answer me, may Allah reward you with the best. A: It is obligatory for her to return to Makkah to make up for Tawaf-ul-Ifadah because it is a Rukn (integral pillar) of (Part No. 10; Page No. 214


A: It is obligatory for her to return to Makkah to make up for Tawaf-ul-Ifadah because it is a Rukn (integral pillar) of (Part No. 10; Page No. 214) Hajj that cannot be waived under any circumstance. In addition, she is obliged to slaughter a sheep meeting the same conditions of Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) in Makkah and distribute its meat among the poor for having intercourse before Tawaf-ul-Ifadah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
