The Ruling on the Tawaf of 'Umrah for a Woman in Menstruation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Umm Ahmad, says that she went to perform 'Umrah when she was 14 years old. Her period came, but she did not inform her family due to her ignorance and shyness. She completed the 'Umrah, and they returned to their home in Abha.

Answer:
This is a major error. The tawaf is not valid. The tawaf of 'Umrah is not valid unless she is in a state of ritual purity. If she performed tawaf while menstruating, her tawaf is not valid, and consequently her 'Umrah is not valid. She remains in her state of ihram, unless she performed 'Umrah afterwards. If she performed 'Umrah afterwards, it takes the place of the 'Umrah in which the defect occurred. Yes.
