Tawaf
Is a woman who has her period, or who is ill with stomach pain, on the last day of umrah liable for a dam if she cannot perform the farewell tawaf?
Answer in brief
The farewell tawaf is obligatory in the Shafi'i school, and leaving it incurs a dam of one sheep, while Imam Malik, Dawud and Ibn al-Mundhir considered it only recommended. A menstruating woman is granted a concession to omit it without any dam, but if her period ends while she is still in Makkah, the farewell tawaf becomes obligatory for her. An ill person is also excused if they must be led or carried, cannot sit in a wheelchair, or suffer from a chronic illness.
Summary written by DHUMY from the Malay original and checked against it.
Oleh itu, bagi perempuan yang kedatangan haid ketika ingin melakukan tawaf wada', maka diberikan keringanan baginya untuk tidak melakukan tawaf wada'. Sekiranya dia telah bersih dari haid dan masih berada di Mekah maka wajib ke atasnya untuk melakukan tawaf wada'.
