Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah, and after entering Makkah she menstruated, so she left Makkah two days after entering ihram, and she has not yet become pure, so what is required of her?
The Shaykh:
She is required that when the menstruation ends and she performs the ritual bath, she returns to Makkah and performs the 'Umrah, because she is still in the state of ihram, and she does not exit the state of ihram except by performing the rites. She returns and performs the rites and exits the state of ihram. Her husband must avoid her until she performs the 'Umrah, because she is in the state of ihram.
The presenter:
He says, may Allah preserve you, and if she said when entering ihram, "If one who prevents me stops me, then my place of exit is where I am stopped"?
The Shaykh:
Menstruation is not a preventer. Menstruation is a customary thing; it is not a preventer. It is a customary and known thing. When 'A'ishah menstruated, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say to her that this is a preventer. He said, "Do what the pilgrim does, except do not circumambulate the House until you become pure."
