A woman starting menstruating during Hajj

Question:

If a woman started menstruating during Hajj, will her Hajj be valid?
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: "This question can not be answered unless we know when she started menstruating as some of the rites of Hajj can be performed even if a woman is menstruating, while others cannot be performed. A woman who is menstruating can not perform Tawaaf, but she can perform all other rites." For details, refer to Fatwa 115420.

Allaah Knows best.
