The of a menstruating woman for ' is valid, but circumambulating the Ka'bah is forbidden for her until she becomes pure. It is permissible to take medication to temporarily stop menstruation for the purpose of performing 'Umrah, provided there is no harm in it. Brownish discharges (kudrah or sufrah) are considered menstruation during the accustomed period according to the Hanbalis, and this is the relied-upon opinion. The Malikis hold that menstruation can be kudrah or sufrah. Therefore, it is not permissible to circumambulate with these discharges present during the accustomed period. If they cease, she should perform (ritual bath) and then circumambulate and perform sa'y.
