What is the ruling for a woman who enters the state of ihram, then menstruates, does not perform 'Umrah, and returns with her family to their hometown?

Question:
This questioner says: A woman entered the state of ihram, and before reaching the sacred precinct, her monthly period came, so she did not perform 'Umrah and returned with her family to their hometown. What is the ruling?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The ruling is that since this woman entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah, it is obligatory for her to perform it, and it is not permissible for her to relinquish it. The state of ihram remains upon her even if she returns to her hometown. It is obligatory for her to return to Makkah with her guardian or her mahram (relative one may not marry), and perform the 'Umrah for which she entered the state of ihram: circumambulation, walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortening the hair, then return to her hometown. Yes.
