What is the ruling on a woman who begins menstruating while performing 'Umrah?

Question:
He says: I came from Syria with my wife, and her monthly period started while she was in the Haram. What should she do? Should she leave the Haram and stay outside, even though no one is with her, or should she remain in the Haram without performing tawaf, sa'y, or prayer?

Answer:
He meant by the Haram the Masjid al-Haram. She must not enter the Masjid al-Haram or any other mosque. A menstruating woman does not enter a mosque except to pass through; she may not sit in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . So she should stay outside the Haram at the gates, sitting in the external expansions outside the gates. She should know her location and pass by it when she prays. Yes.
