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

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:
From the miqat, even if she is menstruating or experiencing post-natal bleeding. Menstruation does not prevent entering the state of ihram; it prevents tawaf. The woman enters ihram from the place from which 'Aishah and the others entered ihram. The point is that menstruation does not prevent ihram, nor does post-natal bleeding; rather, it prevents tawaf. Menstruation prevents tawaf, and so does post-natal bleeding. If she leaves the miqat without entering ihram, and she does not enter ihram except from a miqat between the mosque of 'Umrah—meaning the mosque of al-Tan'eem—then she owes a sacrificial animal, because she left the miqat. She owes a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah, because she neglected an obligatory duty, which is entering ihram from the miqat. Her ignorance does not excuse her, because she did not ask the scholars of knowledge and did not care about the matter. Yes.
