The ruling on entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat while menstruating

Question:
The questioner says: A woman came from a distant area for the purpose of 'Umrah, and her excuse (menstruation) came upon her at the miqat. Is she to enter the state of ihram while menstruating, or should she enter Makkah and, once she is purified, enter the state of ihram and perform the 'Umrah without going to al-Tan'im?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to pass the miqat except while in the state of ihram. Even if she is menstruating, she enters the state of ihram while menstruating. However, when she reaches Makkah, she does not perform tawaf or sa'y until she is purified from menstruation and takes a bath. Performing the 'Umrah must be after purification, but there is no obstacle to entering the state of ihram; she enters the state of ihram while menstruating. It is not permissible for her to pass the miqat while intending to perform 'Umrah without entering the state of ihram.
