Question:
The questioner says: I entered the state of ihram from the miqat for 'Umrah, and I was menstruating before I became pure. I fell ill with a severe illness that prevented me from walking, and I am still ill and have not performed the 'Umrah to this day. Her question is: What should she do if she exits the state of ihram and travels with her family, who do not want to delay their departure from Makkah? Is she sinful?
Answer:
If she made a condition when entering the state of ihram and said, “If I am prevented by a preventer, then my place of exiting the state of ihram is where I am prevented,” then she may exit the state of ihram and she owes nothing. However, if she did not make a condition when entering the state of ihram, then she must perform the 'Umrah, and performing the 'Umrah is easy, praise be to Allah. Even if she is ill, she can be carried on a cart for the tawaf and sa'y, and she can shorten her hair after being carried for the tawaf and sa'y. By shortening her hair, she will have performed the 'Umrah. This is if she has finished her menstruation; since she is menstruating, it is necessary that when she becomes pure from menstruation and performs the full ritual bath, she be carried on a cart for the tawaf and sa'y, and then she shortens her hair and exits the state of ihram from the 'Umrah.
