If an ill or disable person cannot perform the tawaaf on his own...

If an ill or disable person cannot perform the tawaaf on his own, if he can seek help from others, say by leaning on them or being carried by them, then he is obliged to do so. If however, he was in a state that he could not even do so, then he should appoint an agent to do the tawaaf on his behalf. If a woman experienced haydh – the monthly menstruation period, or nifaas – the blood due to postpartum or childbirth, it is obligatory for her to wait until the start time of the woquf in Arafaat.

If she was taahir [i.e. the end of haydh or nifaas] before the designated time of the woquf, such that she could perform the tawaaf [and its two-rak‘ah prayer, the sa‘y and the taqseer] in time for the woquf in Arafaat, then she is obliged to do so. If she was not taahir before the Designated time of woquf, it is permissible for her to perform the sa‘y and the taqseer [only], so that she would cease to be in the state of ihraam of the Tamattu‘ Umrah.

She should then declare and assume the ihraam of the Hajj. She must perform the tawaaf for the Tamattu‘ Umrah, and the two-rak‘ah prayer of the tawaaf once she is taahir [She should do them after performing the rites of Makkah, which are the two tawaafs and the sa‘y].

Alternatively, it is permissible for her to revert her Hajj [from the Tamattu‘ Umrah] to the Ifraad Hajj [without renewing her ihraam], go to Arafaat, while in the state of menses, and observe the woquf there, and after sunset head to Mash‘ar al-Haraam, and then from there she goes to Mina on the Day of Eid, and perform all the rites as described. After this [the completion of the Ifraad Hajj] she must perform the Mufradah Umrah, as will be described later InSha’Allah.

If a woman knows that she would not be taahir until the end of the day of Arafah, she must either declare and assume the state of ihraam for the Ifraad Hajj to begin with, or alternatively she must declare and assume the ihraam for the Tamattu‘ Umrah, perform the sa‘y and taqseer24, thereby releasing herself from the ihraam, and starts the Hajj [by declaring and assuming the ihraam for the Hajj and proceed as normal].

She must perform, as qadha, the tawaaf of the Tamattu‘ Umrah, and its two-rak‘ah prayer after she is taahir. Conditions and requirements of tawaaf A number of conditions must be met in tawaaf: Tahaarah from faeces and urine, Tahaarah cleanliness of the body and clothing, Circumcision (for male), the covering of awrah the legality of the clothing/garments the niyyah or intention.
