What is the ruling on one who performed 'Umrah after having left it off due to illness?

The questioner : He says: A woman asked her daughter to take her along for 'Umrah, and she was ill. She said, "If I am able to perform 'Umrah, I will do so." But when she arrived in the Noble Makkah, she was unable to do so. After several days, she returned and performed 'Umrah. Does she owe anything?

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. She owes nothing. This is because when she reached the miqat, she found herself ill and unable to perform the 'Umrah, so she left it off. Then, after that, she found herself energetic and able to perform the 'Umrah. So we say: Enter the state of ihram from where you were, unless you are in Makkah. If you are in Makkah, go out to al-Tan'īm or another of the boundaries and enter the state of ihram from there.
