The ruling on a woman who is caught by menstruation at the miqat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A woman came from outside the Kingdom with the intention of performing 'Umrah, and near the miqat she was caught by menstruation. She is traveling with a tour group accompanied by her family, and the agreed-upon duration has passed, and she has not become pure until she can take a bath. So she asks what is obligatory for her, because she cannot perform tawaf of the House because she is not in a state of ritual purity. And in the case where she becomes pure on the last day of the trip and takes a bath despite the tightness of time, does she go to al-Tan'īm, or does she enter the state of ihram from the house where she is staying, and perform tawaf and sa'y and shorten her hair, thereby having performed the 'Umrah? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Did she enter the state of ihram from the miqat, or did she leave off the ihram? If she left off the ihram and did not enter it, and time is tight for her, then nothing is obligatory on her; she travels, and she is not obligated to perform the 'Umrah because she did not enter the state of ihram for it. But if she entered the state of ihram from the miqat and remained, then she must perform the 'Umrah for which she entered the state of ihram. She performs it when the blood stops and she takes a bath. If the group travels, her guardian remains with her until she becomes pure and takes a bath, then she travels with her guardian. Praise be to Allah.
