Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She came from Najran to Jeddah and had intended to perform 'Umrah, but she is menstruating. She wants to perform 'Umrah tomorrow, if Allah wills. From where should she enter the state of ihram?

Answer:
She should enter the state of ihram from the miqat she passed. She should return to it and enter the state of ihram from there. She should return to the miqat she passed on her way to Makkah and enter the state of ihram from it, because she was supposed to have entered the state of ihram from the miqat. Even if she is menstruating, entering the state of ihram is valid for a menstruating woman, but she does not perform tawaf or sa'y until she becomes pure and performs ghusl. She remains in her state of ihram. She made a mistake by leaving the state of ihram and coming to Makkah intending to perform 'Umrah without entering the state of ihram. She thought that menstruation prevents entering the state of ihram. This is wrong. Therefore, she must return and enter the state of ihram from the miqat.
