Question:
What is your opinion regarding a woman who entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah and made a condition, and on the morning of the day she arrived in Makkah, her menstrual period started, so she exited her ihram; because her family and mahrams will leave Makkah before her menstrual period ends?
Answer:
It is obligatory for her guardian to either wait with her until she is purified and she performs her 'Umrah, or he leaves with her, and when she is purified, he brings her back from his country and she performs the 'Umrah. This is what is obligatory. As for her refusing the 'Umrah and exiting from it, this is not permissible, because whoever enters the state of ihram for a pilgrimage must complete it. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196] He the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:197] meaning, he entered the state of ihram, so He named the ihram an obligation; because whoever enters the state of ihram must complete the rites.
And the fact that she made a condition, if something prevents her, menstruation is not a preventer. Menstruation is known, and it comes to the daughters of Adam; it is not a preventer. It also ends after days and then stops; it is not a preventer. Menstruation is not a preventer.

وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِso whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein
فَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ الْحَجَّAnd the fact that she made a condition, if something prevents her, menstruation is not a preventer.
