What is obligatory for a woman if she menstruates after entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a woman menstruates after entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah, what is obligatory for her?

Answer:
She continues in her state of ihram. If she enters the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah and menstruation overtakes her, she continues in her state of ihram until the menstruation ends and she takes a bath, then she performs the rites. This is because Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated while in the state of ihram for 'Umrah, having combined it with Hajj. So when the time became tight and she had not become pure, and Hajj arrived while she was still not pure, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to enter the state of ihram for Hajj, combining it with the 'Umrah, so that she would be performing them together. He said: Do what the pilgrims do, except that you do not circumambulate the House until you become pure.
