Question
I am going to Umrah inshallah. My question is what is a women to do if she gets her period? I pray this will not happen, but what parts of the Umrah can she perform?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
If a woman who has her period enters ihraam, she should do everything that other pilgrims do in Hajj or ‘Umrah, apart from performing Tawaaf around the Ka’bah.
She should delay Tawaaf until she is clean (when her period ends).
Shaykh ‘Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr
She can make dhikr, make du’aa’, recite the Talbiyah and do good deeds. And Allah knows best.
