The ruling on 'Umrah if the bleeding stops and then returns during tawaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A woman entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah, and she had performed ghusl after her post-natal bleeding had stopped. That was on the fifth day of her cycle, after the blood had ceased. During the performance of this 'Umrah, the blood came down on her, and she is in doubt about her ritual purity and the completion of her waiting period. Seven years have passed, so what is obligatory for her?

Answer:
Tawaf requires ritual purity, even if she is not menstruating. If anything comes out of her, such as urine, feces, blood, pus, or anything else, her wudu is invalidated. Therefore, tawaf is not valid except with ritual purity. If something came out of her while she was performing tawaf, even if it was not blood, her wudu is invalidated. Consequently, her 'Umrah is not valid, and her state of ihram remains upon her. She is still in the state of ihram for 'Umrah. She must hasten, and she must hasten from now, and adhere to the rulings of ihram from now. She should go to Makkah and perform the 'Umrah for which she entered ihram at that time, because she is still in the state of ihram until now, as ihram is not lifted except by performing the rituals, and she has not performed the rituals until now.
This is something in which many people are negligent and are lenient. If ten years or a hundred years pass, he goes and asks, saying, "What am I to do?" Well, why did you not ask immediately? The matter would have been easier and simpler. But in any case, the 'Umrah remains upon her, and the ihram remains upon her until now.
