You must have Wudoo for the Tawaaf, because the Tawaaf of the [Ka’bah] is [like] the Salaah, as has been established from the Hadeeth of Aa’ishah [radiyAllaahu anhaa] which is narrated in the two Saheehs, where she said:

“The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) entered Makkah in the state of Ihraam, and the first thing he started with was to make Wudoo. He then went to the [Ka’bah] to make Tawaaf” [al-Bukhaaree (1641) and Muslim (1235)].

So this [Hadeeth] provides evidence that Wudoo is a condition [for Tawaaf]. As for the menstruating woman, she enters the state of Ihraam and comes (ash-Shaykh al-Allaamah Saalih ibn Abdullaah ibn Humayd (hafidhahullaah) said: ‘Meaning: she comes to Makkah’), however, she stays [in Makkah] until she becomes pure. After she becomes pure, she takes a bath, makes Tawaaf and the Sa’ee, and shortens [her hair], and there is nothing upon her [from sin or expiation].

If a menstruating women were to enter [i.e. pass by the Meeqaat] without entering the state of Ihraam, while she has come [to Makkah] intending Umrah, meaning: she entered [i.e. passed by the Meeqaat] without entering the state of Ihraam due to ignorance, and then she became pure [i.e. in Makkah], whereby she [were to ask]: ‘Do I enter the state of Ihraam from here [i.e. her place in Makkah] or from ‘at-Tan’eem’ [Masjid Aa’ishah]?,’ we would tell her: ‘No, go and enter the state of Ihraam from the Meeqaat, and if you were to enter the state of Ihraam from here [i.e. her place in Makkah] or from ‘at-Tan’eem’, then upon you is slaughtering [of a sacrificial animal].Given that you have come from your country intending ‘Umrah, and have entered [i.e. passed by the Meeqaat] without entering the state of Ihraam due to menstruation, then when you become pure, you are to return to the Meeqaat and enter the state of Ihraam from there, and there would be nothing upon you [of sin or expiation]. And if you were to enter the state of Ihraam from [the Meeqaat] even though you were menstruating, this [would] be best.’ [In such a case,] she would remain in the state of Ihraam [whilst she is menstruating], and when she becomes pure, she takes a bath, makes Tawaaf and the Sa’ee, and shortens [her hair], and she would have completed her ‘Umrah.
