It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that people were instructed on behalf of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that their last act (before leaving Makkah) should be with the Ka'bah (i.e., they should perform Tawaf of the Ka'bah before departing), but this was excused for a menstruating woman.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers at (the place of) Muhassab, then rested for a short while. After that, he rode towards the Ka'bah and performed its Tawaf.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says A woman who becomes menstruating after performing the Tawaf al-Ifadah, it is permissible for her to leave Makkah. (Tawoos) says that I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) saying that she should not leave Makkah, but finally I heard him saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had permitted menstruating women to leave.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that staying at Muhassab (is neither among the rites of Hajj nor) is it any act of worship; it is merely a place where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stay. Before entering Makkah, (the place) Dhi Tuwa, which is adjacent to Makkah, and when returning from Makkah to Madinah, staying in that stony field (Batha) which is in Dhul-Hulaifah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when he would go to Makkah, he would stay at Dhi Tuwa until morning came, then he would enter Makkah. And when he returned from Makkah, he would also stay at Dhi Tuwa and spend the night there until morning came. And he used to state that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to do the same.
