The questioner:
The questioner says: A woman came from Syria for 'Umrah, and she was menstruating. She entered al-Madinah al-Munawwarah and Makkah al-Mukarramah while menstruating. What is her ruling?
The Shaykh:
Did she enter the state of ihram?
The questioner:
She did not mention it.
The Shaykh:
It is permissible for her to come to al-Madinah and Makkah while menstruating, but she must not enter the mosques. She must not enter al-Masjid al-Nabawi, al-Masjid al-Haram, or any other mosque until she becomes pure and performs ghusl. If she entered the state of ihram from the miqat while menstruating, she remains in her ihram until she becomes pure from menstruation and performs ghusl, then she performs the 'Umrah.
