Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, an elderly woman went on 'Umrah with a group of companions, and she became exhausted before the tawaf,
The Shaykh:
A woman.
The questioner:
An elderly woman went on 'Umrah with a group of companions, and she became exhausted before the tawaf, so she was unable to perform the tawaf or the sa'y. She returned to Riyadh, and she says that she has not committed any prohibited act up to now. What is required of her? And what is required of her if she had committed a prohibited act, such as using perfume or the like?
The Shaykh:
She has not committed a prohibited act; she is still in the state of ihram. If it is possible for her to return, if it is possible for her to return and perform the 'Umrah, even if she is carried, even if she is carried on a litter, on a vehicle, on a camel, then that is obligatory for her, because she is in the state of ihram. Allah the Exalted and Majestic said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196]. As for if she is unable to return, she is considered one who is prevented (muhasar). [Al-Baqarah 2:196] She slaughters a sacrificial animal in Makkah or in the place where she was prevented, she slaughters the sacrificial animal and exits the state of ihram, and praise be to Allah, unless it is not possible for her to return. Yes.

the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah
الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِBut if you are prevented, then [offer] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals
فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِ
