What is the ruling for a woman who experienced dark discharge before intending to perform 'Umrah, and then nothing came out until she completed her 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This woman says: Before I intended to perform 'Umrah, dark discharge came out of me, then nothing came out, then I intended to perform 'Umrah and said, "If I am prevented, my place of exit is where I am prevented." Nothing came out except what became normal, and the next day my period came. Also, a week before that, dark discharge came out of me, then nothing came out. Knowing that my period is irregular and has no specific time.

Answer:
The important thing is the 'Umrah. If nothing came out of her on the day she was circumambulating and walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and she feared and walked, and nothing came out of her, her 'Umrah is valid. She should shorten her hair and complete her 'Umrah. But if something came out of her while she was circumambulating, her 'Umrah is not valid.
There is no harm in the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah if she circumambulated while in a state of ritual purity. Then, when she went out to the place of walking, blood came out of her; she walks, because ritual purity is not a condition for the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah. This is only for the circumambulation. The point is that menstruation does not prevent entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah. She may enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah while menstruating, or enter the state of ihram for Hajj while menstruating, but she must refrain from circumambulating the House until she becomes pure. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'A'ishah when she menstruated while in the state of ihram:
So do what all the pilgrims do except that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba till you are clean.افعلي ما يفعل الحاج غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري
Sahih al-Bukhari 305
.
Yes. And as for the issue of the confusion of the blood, and that sometimes yellowish discharge comes out and sometimes blood comes out, it requires knowledge of the woman's condition. Yes.
