If a woman experiences menstruation before the Ifadah circumambulation (Tawaf al-Ifadah), the preferable course of action for her is to remain in Mecca until she becomes pure and performs the circumambulation, unless there is a clear hardship upon her in doing so. In such a case, it is permissible for her to depart while remaining in a state of ihram (consecration) until she returns and performs the circumambulation, even if the period is prolonged. The Ifadah circumambulation and the Sa'i (ritual brisk walking) of Hajj are pillars of Hajj, without which it is incomplete.
