What is the ruling on a woman who has reached the age of menopause but bled before entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I came to Makkah for 'Umrah, and before entering the state of ihram, my mother bled, and she has reached the age of menopause. So she entered Makkah without intending to perform 'Umrah. When the bleeding stops, what should we do? Does she have to perform 'Umrah, and does her mahram have to perform another 'Umrah? Or what should she do?

Answer:
She has a choice. If she wants to perform 'Umrah, she did not intend 'Umrah when she arrived; she did not intend 'Umrah, but she intended to go to Makkah, go up to al-Tan'im, and enter the state of ihram from al-Tan'im for 'Umrah. And you have the choice: if you wish, you may perform a second 'Umrah, and if you wish, you may not. And if she passed the miqat intending 'Umrah but left off the ihram because of the bleeding, then she must return to the miqat. If she wants 'Umrah, she must return to the miqat and enter the state of ihram from there. Yes.
