Q: A woman started her postpartum period after making Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) for Qiran Hajj (combining Hajj and `Umrah without a break in between). She remained confined for 40 days and got out of the confinement period in the month of Muharram. She performed all the acts of Hajj except Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah). She had to (Part No. 10; Page No. 230) return to her homeland, Egypt, owing to her husband's work, who was her Mahram (spouse or permanently unmarriageable relative). When the confinement period ended, some Shaykhs gave her a fatwa that she should renew the Ihram because she went beyond the Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah). She did so and went to Makkah and observed Tawaf and Sa`y for Hajj and `Umrah and did Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj). This happened during the month of Muharram. Is her Hajj valid? Does she have to do anything?Another woman with the same condition did the same but she was leaving to Jizan where she lives. She got out of confinement during the month of Dhul-Hajjah and she performed the Tawaf, Sa`y and Tawaf-ul-Ifadah in Dhul-Hajjah. Is her Hajj valid and is she committed to anything?
