Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A menstruating woman (Haa’idh) and a woman in post-natal bleeding (Nifasaa’) are not obligated to perform the Farewell Circumambulation ( al-Wada’). As for the incapacitated and the sick, they are to be carried and circumambulated, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Let no one among you depart until the last of his rites is with the House (Kaaba)," and an exemption has been made for the menstruating woman and the woman in post-natal bleeding.
