Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A sister of mine came with me from Bahrain. She was twelve days before her monthly period, and while we were on our way to Makkah, my sister started bleeding. When we arrived in Makkah, we performed the rites of 'Umrah with her present. What is the ruling?

Answer:
There is no harm if a woman enters the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah while menstruating. There is no harm. However, when she arrives in Makkah, she must wait until she is purified from menstruation and takes a bath, then she performs the rites. She performs the rites of Hajj while menstruating, except for the tawaf, except for the tawaf.
As for 'Umrah, she does not perform any of its rites until she is purified and takes a bath, then she performs the tawaf and the sa'y between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and she shaves or shortens her hair. This is what is obligatory for the menstruating woman. If she arrives in Makkah without being in ihram because of menstruation, and then she is purified and wants to perform 'Umrah, she must go out to al-Tan'īm and enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. If she intends to perform 'Umrah while in Makkah, she goes out to al-Tan'īm or to the non-sacred area and enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah. However, if she came from her country with the intention of 'Umrah and passed the miqat without entering ihram, then when she is purified and wants to perform 'Umrah, it is obligatory for her to return to the miqat and enter ihram from the miqat she passed. But if she came to Makkah, gave up on 'Umrah, and abandoned it, and then later wants to perform 'Umrah, she goes out to the non-sacred area and enters ihram from al-Tan'īm or elsewhere, and performs the 'Umrah. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
