The ruling on a woman who experiences her monthly excuse while on the way to 'Umrah, and she did not enter the state of ihram and did not perform 'Umrah

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. After this, a message from one of the sisters, Umm Khalid from Riyadh, asks and says: A woman wanted to perform 'Umrah, and on the way, before the miqat, her monthly excuse came upon her, and she did not enter the state of ihram. She went to Makkah with her companions and sat in the car until they finished their 'Umrah, then they returned to their families. She has performed 'Umrah twice since then. Is there anything required of her, given that a long time has passed? And regarding her not performing 'Umrah at that time, her companions did not wait for her because they were tied up with their work? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
She owes nothing for leaving off the 'Umrah, because 'Umrah is not obligatory. However, if she had entered the state of ihram, if she had entered the state of ihram while menstruating, menstruation does not prevent entering the state of ihram. She enters the state of ihram, but she must refrain from tawaf and sa'y until she becomes pure. Her companions should not be strict with her, and they should give her the opportunity to perform the 'Umrah. Since she traveled and bore the hardship of the journey, her guardian should have been kind to her and given her the opportunity to perform the 'Umrah. But what you mentioned, that she left off the 'Umrah, she owes nothing for it, because 'Umrah is not obligatory.
