What is the ruling on a woman who passes the miqat while menstruating and does not enter the state of ihram until she becomes pure in Makkah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Honorable Shaykh, I am a married woman, and my problem is that I and my husband came from Riyadh and passed the miqat, and I was not in a state of ritual purity, and I did not enter the state of ihram out of ignorance on my part, although I intended to perform 'Umrah. So when I reached Makkah, I waited until I became pure, and I was not in the state of ihram, so I went out to al-Tan'im with my husband, and I entered the state of ihram and performed the 'Umrah. Knowing that we were ignorant of the ruling, what is required of us?

Answer : If the husband did not enter the state of ihram from the miqat but rather entered it with his wife, then a sacrificial animal is required of each of them, a fidyah (ransom payment) to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor. As for if the husband entered the state of ihram from the miqat and the one who delayed her entry into ihram was the wife, and she entered the state of ihram from al-Tan'im, then a sacrificial animal is required of her, a fidyah for leaving the entry into ihram from the miqat, because those who pass the miqat intending Hajj and 'Umrah are obligated to enter the state of ihram from it and not delay the entry into ihram. Yes. Yes, and her statement that she was ignorant does not prevent the obligation of the fidyah upon her, but she is free from sin by virtue of it.
