She started menstruating before performing Tawaaf Al-Ifaadhah

Question

If a woman starts menstruating after throwing the Jamrat Al-‘Aqabah (the large pillar) and before performing Tawaaf Al-Ifaadhah and she and her husband are part of a group and have to return with them, what should she do, taking into consideration that she cannot ever return?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said: "If she cannot return, she should wear a sanitary towel and perform Tawaaf out of necessity, then complete the rest of Hajj rites."

Allaah Knows best.
