What is required of a woman if she menstruates while in the state of ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She has another question, saying that she intends, if Allah wills, to perform Hajj. If a woman gets her period while she is on Hajj, Honorable Shaykh, what is required of her?

Answer:
If her menstrual period comes while she is in the state of ihram, it does not harm her ihram. She does what the pilgrim does, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Aisha to do when she menstruated while in the state of ihram. He told her: Do what the pilgrim does, except that you do not circumambulate the House until you become pure. She performs the rites of Hajj, except for the tawaf of completion. She delays it until she becomes pure and takes a bath, then she performs it. Yes.
