What is the ruling on a menstruating woman entering the state of ihram?

Question:
This is a woman asking. She came to perform 'Umrah, and bleeding came upon her for twelve days. She entered the state of ihram at Abi 'Araq while she was still bleeding, and she came to Makkah. Does she perform the 'Umrah after her bleeding stops on this ihram?

Answer:
Yes. If a woman enters the state of ihram while menstruating, her ihram is valid. Or if she enters ihram while pure and then menstruation begins after she has entered ihram, her ihram is likewise valid. Menstruation does not affect the ihram. She remains in her ihram and must observe the prohibitions of ihram until her bleeding stops. Then she takes a bath from the menstruation and performs the rites of 'Umrah: she circumambulates, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortens her hair. Yes. She does not enter ihram a second time, because she is already in ihram from the miqat. Her ihram is valid, and she was menstruating.
