Q:
Last year, on the Day of
`Arafah,
a pregnant woman was performing Hajj and another woman fell on her. On the 10th day (of Dhul-Hijjah), the pregnant woman experienced slight bleeding from her womb, so she asked me to perform Rami (throwing the pebbles (at the pebble-throwing area during Hajj) on her behalf.
Because the woman is overweight and in weak health, I feared that she and her fetus could be at risk if she throws the pebbles. Therefore, I stoned the pillar on the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah. On the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, however, the woman performed both Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj), and Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) in succession, but she noticed an insignificant amount of blood. Is this act of her right? If not, what is the most correct act that she should have done? Please, give me an explained Fatwa on this. May Allah reward you with the best!
A:
If a pregnant woman experiences occasional bleeding from her womb, it is not permissible for her to perform Tawaf in this condition. If she did so, she must repeat it again.However, if the bleeding (from the womb) continued to flow after the usual period, she can perform Tawaf after wearing something like sanitary towel to absorb the blood, and performing Wudu' (ablution). This is due to the fact that this continuous blood (after the period) is only Istihadah (abnormal vaginal bleeding outside the menstrual or post-partum period).As for Rami (throwing the pebbles (at the pebble-throwing area during Hajj), there is no problem for her to perform it by proxy because of the mentioned excuse. (Part No. 10; Page No. 251) May Allah grant us success. May Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions!
