What is the ruling on a woman who intends to perform 'Umrah and then menstruation begins?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: She came to perform 'Umrah, and when she reached the miqat, her period started. So she entered Makkah without entering the state of ihram. After her period ends, she will go out to al-Tan'īm and perform the 'Umrah. Is her action correct?

Answer:
Her leaving off the ihram from the miqat because of menstruation is a mistake. It is obligatory for her to enter the state of ihram from the miqat, and menstruation does not prevent entering the state of ihram. They entered the state of ihram with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and some of them were in post-natal bleeding and some were menstruating. They entered the state of ihram with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so menstruation does not prevent entering the state of ihram.
But if she becomes pure, she performs the circumambulation and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and performs the rites of the 'Umrah. She enters the state of ihram from the miqat and remains in her state of ihram until the bleeding stops and she takes a full ritual bath, then she performs the rites of the 'Umrah. As for her having made a mistake and left off the ihram, coming to Makkah without ihram, and now wanting to perform 'Umrah, she is required to return to the miqat that she passed without entering the state of ihram, and enter the state of ihram from it. Yes.
