What does a menstruating woman do if she wants to perform 'Umrah and she will become pure after entering Makkah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! I want to go for 'Umrah, and my family and my wife are in their monthly period, and if Allah wills they will become pure in Makkah, so what am I required to do at the miqat?

Answer:
If they want to perform 'Umrah, there is nothing wrong with them entering the state of ihram while they are menstruating. A menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding may enter ihram; there is no obstacle. She intends the ihram and recites the talbiyah. But when you arrive in Makkah, she does not enter the Sacred Mosque until she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath. She waits in her state of ihram, and when she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath, she goes to the Sacred Mosque, performs the circumambulation and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and completes the 'Umrah. Her ihram is valid, and it is fine that she is menstruating.
