The ruling on entering ihram from the Mosque of 'Umrah for a woman who left the miqat while menstruating

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, a woman traveled from Riyadh to Makkah intending to perform Hajj as a mutamatti'ah, but she was menstruating. When she reached the miqat, she did not enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. However, when she arrived in Makkah and her menstruation ended, she entered ihram from the Mosque of 'Umrah. What is the ruling on this? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory for her to enter ihram from the miqat, even if she is menstruating or in post-natal bleeding. Menstruation does not prevent entering ihram; it prevents circumambulation. A woman enters ihram from the place from which 'Aishah and the others entered it. The point is that menstruation does not prevent entering ihram, nor does post-natal bleeding; they only prevent circumambulation. Menstruation prevents circumambulation, and so does post-natal bleeding. If she left off entering ihram from the miqat and did not enter ihram except from the miqat between the Mosque of 'Umrah—meaning the Mosque of al-Tan'eem—she owes a sacrificial animal, because she left off the miqat. She owes a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah, because she left off an obligation, which is entering ihram from the miqat. Her ignorance does not excuse her, because she did not ask the people of knowledge and did not care about the matter. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
