Questions regarding ‘umrah and menses.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Aoa I want to ask that i am going to perform umrah in shaa Allah on 11 feb. My monthly periods date will be within those days…i dont want to take pills to stop my periods.

My questions are:

1. Is it permissible for mensturating woman to do sai …

2. If a woman is in state of ihram during menses she will wait till getting pure before doing tawaf, Sai etc. Woman is in Haram wearing Ihraam during menses what would she do after getting pure? Is she going to change the ihram already worn before entering haram or can wear the same ihram if spotless?

3. What is recommended for a woman how she can untilize her time in Haram while mensturating?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

1)     The area of sa’i is not part of masjid al-haram. A woman in menses may enter this area and also perform her sa’i during menses.[1] 

2)     There is no specific clothing requirement for a woman in ihraam like men. If a woman was wearing clothing in her menses and she became pure, she may wear the same clothing to perform her ‘umrah if there is no impurity on the clothing.

3)     Such a woman may spend her time in zikr and dua.[2]
