What are the rulings for a menstruating woman in Hajj and 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman’s menstrual period comes on while she is in the state of ihram, and she has already entered ihram from the miqat, is it permissible for her to perform the sa’i (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah) first, then perform the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka’bah) and cut her hair, or is the specific order required?

Answer:
That is, she is playing with the ‘Umrah (lesser pilgrimage); this is not permissible. She must be patient until she becomes pure. Once she is pure, she takes a full ritual bath, then performs the tawaf, then the sa’i, and then cuts her hair. This is the manner of the ‘Umrah. As for advancing one part and delaying another, that is not permissible. Yes.
