The ruling on a woman who menstruates during 'Umrah after making a condition at the time of entering ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says that his daughters were afraid of menstruation during 'Umrah,

The Shaykh:
that his daughters.

The questioner:
his daughters were afraid of menstruation during 'Umrah, so they made a condition when entering ihram. When they arrived at the Haram, they menstruated, so they exited their ihram and did not perform the rites. What is obligatory for them?

The Shaykh:
Menstruation is not a barrier; menstruation is not a barrier because its time is limited. She waits until she does what the pilgrim does. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, except for...
do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from your menses)تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري
Sahih al-Bukhari 1650
, so it is not a barrier. Menstruation is a known thing, so she waits until she becomes pure and then performs the 'Umrah for which she entered ihram. If she goes to her country because the time is tight or she cannot stay in Makkah, then when she becomes pure, she remains in her ihram. When she becomes pure, her guardian must bring her back and she performs the 'Umrah. Yes.
