What is the ruling on a woman who menstruated before performing 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We came with a servant, and her period started before she could perform 'Umrah. What is the ruling if we want to travel to our country before she becomes pure?

Answer:
She must wait until she becomes pure and performs her 'Umrah, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to 'A'ishah when she menstruated:
but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from your menses).غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري
Sahih al-Bukhari 1650
And when Safiyyah menstruated, he said, "Are we to be detained by her?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, she has already performed the farewell tawaf," meaning she circumambulated the Ka'bah for the farewell tawaf. He said, "Then depart," meaning travel. This indicates that if she had not performed the farewell tawaf, she would have detained the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and those with him until she circumambulated. Yes.
