What is the ruling on 'Umrah for a woman if she starts menstruating while she is performing sa'y, and she completes her sa'y and finishes her 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: A woman started menstruating while she was performing sa'y, so she completed her sa'y and finished her 'Umrah. Is her 'Umrah valid?

Answer:
No, her 'Umrah is not valid, because she performed tawaf while menstruating, and tawaf requires ritual purity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'A'ishah when she started menstruating
but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from your menses).غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري
Sahih al-Bukhari 1650
. So she has to repeat the tawaf, repeat the sa'y, and repeat the shortening of the hair. What has passed is not valid. Yes.
