The Ruling on 'Umrah for a Woman with a Permanent State of Ritual Impurity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, R-J from Riyadh, says that she works in Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Her mother is severely ill and unable to walk. She is also suffering from diabetes and cannot control her urination. I want to send for her to come and perform 'Umrah, she and my brother who is caring for her. Is it permissible, O Shaykh, for us to arrange for her to have a catheter inserted before arriving in Makkah? And is it permissible for her to perform tawaf and pray in the Haram while wearing the catheter? Knowing that a special bag is attached to the end of the catheter to control and collect the urine and prevent leakage. I have already performed 'Umrah on her behalf previously, and I performed 'Umrah for her again when I returned to Egypt. I informed her of this and mentioned to her that I had performed 'Umrah on her behalf. However, she is longing for the Ka'bah, the blessings of 'Umrah, and visiting the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him). What do you say, given that she has already fulfilled the obligation of Islam and the command of Islam?

Answer:
It is better for her to be content with that, because she has a permanent state of ritual impurity, and it is difficult for her to travel and come to Makkah and to Madinah. It is difficult for her, along with the continuous state of impurity. After the first 'Umrah, it is better for her to stay.
