943. 'Āishah narrated: "It was mentioned to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ that Sāfiyyah bint Hūyaī got her menses during the days of Minā, so he said: "Will she prevent us (from departing)?" They said: "She has done (Tawāf) Al-Ifādah." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "In that case there is no harm." (Sahīh)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbās.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Āishah is a Hasan Sahīh Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. When a woman performs Tawāf Al-Ifādah then her menses begin she may leave and there is nothing due from her. This is the view of Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
Solution of the Problem: If the menses of a woman start before performing Tawāf Al-Ifādah and her stay in Makkah is not possible, as the date and time of her departure from Makkah is fixed, and there is no possibility of change in this schedule, in this difficult situation, according to Hāfiz Ibn Taimiyyah, she should take bath and perform Tawāf Al-Ifādah, and she will pay the penalty (sacrifice of an animal in the limits of the Haram. (for more details see Fatāwa Ibn Taimiyyah v.26 p. 242-244.)
