The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman Entering Ihram from the Miqat

Question:
We have a woman who started her menstruation and did not enter ihram from the miqat due to her ignorance. Is it permissible for her to enter ihram from her home, or from al-Tan'īm, and what is required of her?

Answer:
She must return to the miqat and enter ihram from the miqat she passed. She should return to it and enter ihram from there. If she entered ihram from the House, a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of her, and this is not permissible for her as long as she has not entered ihram. She must return to the miqat. The fact that she passed the miqat is a mistake. It is obligatory for her to enter ihram, even if she is menstruating. A menstruating woman enters ihram while menstruating. Ihram does not conflict with menstruation. When she becomes pure, she performs tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and shortens her hair. Yes.
