She menstruated while in the state of ihram for 'Umrah, so she returned and did not complete her 'Umrah. What is required of her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We take a call from our brother Muhammad from Riyadh. Go ahead, my brother Muhammad. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. May I speak to the Shaykh, please? Go ahead. I have a question. Five years ago, my wife and I performed 'Umrah. One day we entered the state of ihram from Madinah. The day we entered ihram, she intended the ihram. She arrived and prayed two rak'ahs, and then her period started. I don't know what is required of her now. We left, and I went and completed the 'Umrah, but she did not go with me. I don't know what is required of her now. I don't know if she owes an 'Umrah, or if she owes a fast, or anything else. Thank you. Okay.

The Shaykh:
Did she menstruate after she entered the state of ihram and refused to continue the ihram?

The questioner:
Yes, yes, yes.

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for her to do that. It is obligatory for her to perform the 'Umrah when she becomes pure. She must perform the 'Umrah for which she entered the state of ihram when she becomes pure.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Did she perform 'Umrah after that, or did she not perform 'Umrah?

The questioner:
No, no, she did not perform 'Umrah. This is her first 'Umrah.

The Shaykh:
She has not performed 'Umrah up to now.

The questioner:
No, by Allah, no. It is not a joke. It is with you once, and there was intercourse with her husband. I mean, it has been five years since this happened.

The Shaykh:
Yes, she is required to do several things. First, she must proceed with her first 'Umrah, which is invalid due to intercourse. She must proceed with it and complete it. Then she must return to the miqat from which she originally entered the state of ihram and enter the state of ihram for a new 'Umrah to make up for the invalid 'Umrah. She must slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah and distribute it to the poor. Yes.
