What is the ruling on a woman who enters the state of ihram from the miqat while menstruating?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My menstrual period came to me while I was in my home country, and I took medication to make it stop, medication, medication. I took medication so that it would stop before I arrived in Makkah. At the miqat, I performed the full ritual bath and said the supplication: “If one who restrains me restrains me, then my place of sacrifice is where I am restrained.” Then I said, “Labbaik Allahumma 'Umrah,” knowing that my period usually lasts eight days, but today is the tenth day, and I have not performed 'Umrah yet. What should I do?

Answer:
Yes. If you perform the full ritual bath, if Allah wills, and the blood stops, and you wait until fifteen days, because menstruation may extend to fifteen days, you remain in the state of ihram. If the blood stops, you perform the full ritual bath and perform the 'Umrah. But if it becomes fifteen days and the blood does not stop, perform the full ritual bath and perform the 'Umrah even if there is still blood after the fifteen days, because it is no longer menstruation; it has become irregular bleeding. Yes.
