‘Umrah and Ṭawāf with Irregular Bleeding

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mathabah.org

Answered by Shaykh Yūsuf Badāt

Question:

A lady is in irām and the duration of ay (menses) is complete with the passing of 10 days. She is still bleeding but not continuous, to make her a ma’dhūr. She does get enough time in between, to offer far alāh before she bleeds again. What will be the method or way for her to perform her ‘Umrah and awāfs, taking into consideration that anytime during the awāfs she could bleed.

Answer:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Jazāk Allāh Khayr/ Thank you for contacting Mathābah Institute.

A woman who has surpassed the maximum days of menses (ay) is considered a mustaḥāḍah [in irregular bleeding]. She is classified amongst the ma’dhūr (excused). Such a person will only make one wuū for the duration of one entire prayer time. With that one wuū, she can pray, make ‘Umrah and awāfs as many as she wants despite the impurities exiting, for the entire duration of the prayer time until the next prayer time does not commence. It is recommended for such a woman to change her sanitary pads when making the ablution. – (See: Badāi’ Al-Ṣanāi, Vol 1, Page 238, Dār Al-Kutub Al-‘Ilmīyyah[1], Rad Al-Muḥtār, Vol 1, Page 305, Dār Al-Fikr[2])

“The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) instructed Fāṭimah Bint Abī Ḥubaysh (may God be pleased with her) to wash her discharge and pray. Such a woman who had excessive discharge was also instructed to make wuḍū for every prayer, until the time for the next prayer came.” – (Abū Dāwūd 298)[3]

Only Allāh knows best
