The answer

A menstruating woman is not permitted to perform Tawaf, based on what was narrated from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. If a woman is unable to purify herself, she may use medication to prevent menstruation so that she can perform Tawaf. If she cannot use medication, it is permissible for her to perform Tawaf out of necessity, provided she uses a pad and takes precautions to prevent blood from flowing. This is the view of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and those who followed him, especially if the woman has come from a distant land and cannot stay or return later. However, if she is from a nearby country, she can return to perform Tawaf after purification, and she remains in the state of ihram, awaiting the second release from ihram, until she performs Tawaf.
