Should Women Trot during Tawaf or Sa`i?
Women do not have to trot around the Ka`bah or between As-Safa and Al-Marwah and they do not have to uncover one shoulder.13,408Can She Perform `Umrah During Menses?
A woman who wants to do Hajj or `Umrah should enter Ihram from the Miqat even if she is menstruating, and she should form the intention of entering Ihram. It is not essential to be free of menses in order to enter Ihram and do Sa`i, but the menstruating woman is not allowed to do Tawaf around the House until she is pure.26,576`Umrah without a Mahram
A woman who does not have a Mahram to travel with does not have to go for Hajj or `Umrah and she is excused if she does not go. It is prohibited for her to travel for Hajj or for any other reason without a Mahram, and she has to be patient until Allah makes it easy for one of her Mahrams to travel with her.176,815She did not form the intention to do ‘Umrah at the Miqaat because of her menses, then she did ‘Umrah because she was too shy to tell her father

The menstruating woman is not allowed to do tawaf and she should remain in Makkah until she becomes pure; if she leaves, then she must come back and do tawaf. Ibn Taymiyyah views that if a woman gets her menses and cannot remain in Makkah or come back to it if she leaves before doing tawaf, then either she may have an injection to stop the bleeding, and then do tawaf; or she may put on a sanitary pad to prevent the blood contaminating the mosque, and do tawaf, as this is a case of necessity.49,445Can a woman tie a cover over her face when in ihram?
7,319She does not have any wealth; can she take money from her father in order to do Hajj? Can she delegate someone to perform Hajj on her behalf if she is not able to do Hajj?
