Can one do <em>Tawaaf<\/em> of the Ka&#8217;bah after the 12th of Dhul Hajj after Hajj days have passed?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>wa alaikumussalaam<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for writing to us.<\/p>\n<p>During menstruation, a woman should not offer any acts of worship relating to the Ka`bah. These acts of worship include the circumambulation (<em>Tawaf<\/em>) around the Ka`bah and the obligatory or any supererogatory prayers. Except for the <em>Tawaf<\/em>, a woman may offer all parts of Hajj. Subsequently, at the discontinuation of her menstrual bleeding, she may perform the <em>Tawaf<\/em>. If, however, she is hindered by visa restrictions in delaying her return till after the discontinuation of menstrual bleeding, then she would obviously have to return without offering her <em>Tawaf<\/em>. In such a case, the woman\u2019s Hajj would be considered complete, even though she did not have the option to perform her <em>Tawaf<\/em> later.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Mushfiq Sultan<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2018-09-13<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6944\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During menstruation, a woman should not offer any acts of worship relating to the Ka`bah.
