Fathwa - She is not certain whether her menses started during Tawaaf or Sa'i

Question
Respected Sheikh Assalam oalaikum Few days back i asked you a question
regarding menses during umrah,u directed me to another question which
i was unable to understand my actual question is that mywife did not
know when her menses started eitherduring tawaaf or saayi. she noticed
it only when she reached one of my relatives house in Holy Makkah.
What shall we do now as she is not sure when her menses started during
umrah. JazkaAllahKhair
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad,
is His Slave and Messenger.
Your wife is not obligated to do anything and her'Umrahis valid,
Allaah willing, as long as she is not certain that
sheofferedTawaafwhile she was menstruating. That isbecause if
something is possible to occur in one of two times, then it should be
attributed to the nearest of them. (The general rule is attributing an
incident tothe most recent time, i.e. to the time closest to the
present. That is because the existence of the incident in the closer
time is agreed upon, while the later time is doubtful).
Based on that, since it is possible that such blood may have occurred
in Tawaaf or after it, then it should be assumed to have occurred at
the latest of the two times and thus her Tawaaf is valid.
Allaah Knows best.
