Are women required to perform Raml (brisk walking) during Tawaf around the Ka'bah or between Safa and Marwah?

Primary text
The consensus of the people of knowledge is that women do not perform Raml around the House or between Safa and Marwah, nor are they required to perform Idtiba' (uncovering the right shoulder). This is because Raml and Idtiba' primarily serve to expose the skin, which is not intended for women. Moreover, women are meant to be covered, and Raml and Idtiba' involve exposure.
