Summary
A menstruating woman may perform sa'ie between Safa and Marwah, and her sa'ie is valid. According to the majority of jurists, the restriction during menstruation applies only to tawaf and its two-rakaat prayer. Purity from hadath is only a recommended act of sa'ie and not a condition of its validity, although pilgrims are encouraged to remain in a state of purity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan dalil yang dikemukakan, hukum sa'ie bagi wanita yang kedatangan haid adalah sah perlaksanaannya.
