A woman entered Makkah while menstruating and did not intend to perform 'Umrah. When she becomes pure while still in Makkah, should she go out to al-Tan'īm and intend to perform 'Umrah?

Question:
A woman entered Makkah while menstruating and did not intend to perform 'Umrah. When she becomes pure while still in Makkah, should she go out to al-Tan'īm and intend to perform 'Umrah from al-Tan'īm?

Answer:
If she intended to perform 'Umrah when she arrived, and intended to perform 'Umrah when she passed the miqat, but thought that a menstruating woman does not enter the state of ihram, that is a mistake. A menstruating woman does enter the state of ihram, but she remains in her ihram until the menstruation ends, she takes a bath, and she performs the rites. If she came with the intention of 'Umrah and passed the miqat but did not enter the state of ihram because she was menstruating, that is ignorance on her part. When she becomes pure and wants to perform 'Umrah, she must return to the miqat she passed and enter the state of ihram from there, and perform the 'Umrah. Yes.
