What is the ruling of Islamic law on a woman who refuses to complete the Hajj after reaching Arafat?
If a woman has not performed the obligatory Hajj and neglected its performance after arriving in the holy lands, she is considered disobedient according to the majority of scholars, and she must repent and perform Hajj at the earliest opportunity. However, if she entered into the state of ihram for Hajj but then refused to complete its rites after standing at 'Arafat, she remains in her state of ihram until she performs the circumambulation (tawaf), the striving (sa'y), and the shortening (taqseer), and she must compensate for any missed obligatory acts with animal sacrifices (dam).
