The Ruling on One Who Passes the Miqat While Menstruating with the Intention of 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Umm Muhammad from Riyadh, says: A woman passed the miqat intending to perform 'Umrah, but she is menstruating, and it is difficult for her to return to the miqat. She has already reached the Haram. What is required of her if she enters the state of ihram from her current location?
Answer:
That is incorrect. It is obligatory for her to enter the state of ihram from the miqat, even if she is menstruating. Menstruation does not prevent entering the state of ihram; it only prevents circumambulating the House. So she enters the state of ihram from the miqat. When she reaches Makkah, she waits until the menstruation stops and she performs the full ritual bath, then she performs the 'Umrah by circumambulating, walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortening the hair. If she contradicts this and passes the miqat without entering the state of ihram, and then enters the state of ihram from Makkah, her 'Umrah is valid, but she owes a ransom payment for passing the miqat, because she left an obligatory part of the 'Umrah, which is entering the state of ihram from the miqat. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
