What is the ruling on a woman's Hajj if she performed the rituals as follows: she stayed in Muzdalifah for four and a half hours, and in Mina for five hours on the first night and six hours on the second night, and she cast the Jamrat al-Aqabah after Maghrib, and she cast the pebbles at the Jamarat on the days of Tashreeq before Maghrib on the first day and after Dhuhr on the second day, and she was not certain that the seventh pebble landed in the basin when stoning the minor Jamarah, and she experienced discharge after the Ifadah circumambulation but did not know when it occurred, then during the farewell circumambulation she felt a bubble of air exit from the front and performed ablution with a small amount of water that did not cover her feet completely, and is the sacrificial animal (Hady) she slaughtered sufficient to compensate for the deficiencies in her Hajj?

It is permissible for a woman to travel with trustworthy companions without a mahram. Spending the night in Mina is a Sunnah, not an obligation, and there is no penalty for one who omits it. The discharge that appeared after Tawaf Al-Ifadah does not affect its validity, as long as its appearance after the Tawaf is probable, and there is no need to repeat it. Spending the night in Muzdalifah is valid as long as she departed after midnight. If she remained in Mina on the night of Nahr for five hours out of ten hours of the night, then she has fulfilled the obligation for that night. If it was less than half the night, a non-specific charity is due, but no dam (sacrificial offering) is required, and on the following day, the overnight stay was achieved. Doubting the emission of something from the front private part during Tawaf Al-Wada' is often a delusion and a whisper from Satan, and should not be given attention. Assuming it is real, it is permissible to adopt the view of the Malikis that purity is not invalidated by rare emissions. Thus, the Tawaf Al-Wada' is valid. Waiting for travel after Tawaf Al-Wada' does not harm, as long as she is prepared for travel and awaiting her conveyance, and there is no need to repeat it.
