391. It was narrated from 'Āishah that she said to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: "Šafiyyah bint Huyaī began menstruating." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Perhaps she has detained us. Did she not circumambulate the House with you?" She said: "Yes." He said: "Then you can leave." (Sahih)

Commentary
1. Al-Ifadah denotes returning. Since it is performed upon returning from Arafât, it is called Tawâf Al-Ifadah. Besides, it is called the Tawâf Az-Ziyarah (the visitation circling) and Tawâf Fard (the Obligatory Tawâf) also.
2. A woman who has already performed the Tawâf Al-Ifadah, if she menstruates thereupon, and if the date for returning home draws near, she is excusable. She can go home without performing the Tawâf Al-Wada' - the Farewell Circumambulation.
