What is the ruling on a woman who menstruated after entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As the questioner says: A woman had her period before entering the sacred precinct, so what is the ruling? She has not yet performed the 'Umrah; rather, it is upon her arrival, and she is wearing the clothes of ihram. Does she enter the sacred precinct without having made a condition?

The Shaykh : If a woman menstruates after entering the state of ihram, meaning after she has recited the talbiyah, she remains in her state of ihram until she becomes pure. When she becomes pure, she performs the 'Umrah. This is because when 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) menstruated, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Go out,"
Perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`baما يفعل الحاج غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت
Sahih al-Bukhari 1650
, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented her from performing tawaf around the House. She returned, and if she menstruates after her stay, she must wait until she becomes pure from her menstruation, and then when she becomes pure, she performs her 'Umrah. Likewise, if she menstruates before reaching the miqat, when she reaches the miqat, she enters the state of ihram just as her companions do, and she remains in her state of ihram until she becomes pure. When she becomes pure, she performs her 'Umrah. As for if a woman menstruates after tawaf and before sa'y, she performs sa'y even if she is menstruating, and she completes her 'Umrah, and there is no blame on her for that.
