A woman with irregular bleeding (istihadah) making tawaf of the House

It is narrated from Abu Ma'iz that a woman came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I have istihadah (non-menstrual bleeding)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave the prayer during your days that are your (fixed) days, then take a ritual bath, stuff it with cotton, circumambulate the House (the Ka'bah) and pray."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning a woman with istihadah: Instruct her to take a ritual bath, to cleanse herself as thoroughly as she can, and to bind a clean cloth over her private part, then let her circumambulate the House (the Ka'bah).

A woman came to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and asked: "May a woman with istihadah circumambulate the House (the Ka'bah)?" He said: "She should sit out her (usual, fixed) days, then take a ritual bath and circumambulate." She asked: "May a woman with istihadah enter the Ka'bah?" He said: "Bind some cloth or the like, then enter."

Sa'id bin Jubayr was asked whether a woman with istihadah may pray. He said: "Yes, and she may perform Hajj to the House, even if (the blood) is flowing onto her heels."

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib and al-Hasan said: A woman with istihadah will perform all the rites of Hajj.

Al-Zuhri said: A woman with istihadah (irregular bleeding) will perform the tawaf of the House of Allah and will also perform the sa'i between Safa and Marwah.

It is narrated from Ata that a woman of Makkah said: Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) took a woman with istihadah (irregular bleeding) around in tawaf.

Ata said: A woman with istihadah (irregular bleeding) will refrain for her (fixed) days, then she will pack herself with cotton, perform the tawaf of the House of Allah and depart.
