Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says they came from Sudan, she and her husband, but the legal excuse (menstruation) came upon her, so she has not performed the 'Umrah until now.

Answer:
If she came from Sudan with the intention of 'Umrah, she must not pass the miqat without being in the state of ihram. But if she was afflicted with menstruation, as she says, and she thought that it was not valid for her to enter ihram while menstruating, that is a mistake. One enters ihram from the miqat even if she is menstruating or even if she is in post-natal bleeding. However, she does not perform the 'Umrah until she becomes pure and takes a bath. In any case, as long as she refused the 'Umrah and left it, she owes nothing. Yes. May Allah reward you. I mean, she refused it and did not enter ihram for it. But if she had entered ihram for it, she would have been required to proceed with it and perform it. Yes.
