Hajj and Menstruation

Q: What happens when a woman going for Haj starts menstruating on the 2 or 3rd day of Zhul-Hijja and is unable to perform her tawaaf-e-ziyaarat? What if she is unable to perform tawaaf-e-ziyaarat at all that year because of her menstruation? When her menstruation period is over she will already be back in South Africa. What does she have to do then?

A: If it is possible for this woman to delay her departure from Makka till she becomes clean then this should be done. However, if she cannot delay her departure, or her haidh stretches for 9 to 10 days then she must be instructed to make the tawaaf in that impure state and give one camel as a dum. This dum may be given at any time but must be slaughtered and distributed in the Haram of Makka.
