I went to perform 'Umrah with my family, and upon arriving in Makkah, my wife experienced what women experience, and she had not made a condition, and I had no choice but to return to my country.

The questioner : The honorable Shaykh says, may Allah reward you for Islam and the Muslims with the best reward, I tell you that I love you for the sake of Allah.
The Shaykh : May Allah love him who loves us for His sake.
The questioner : And my question, O honorable Shaykh, is that I went to perform 'Umrah with my family, and upon arriving in Makkah, my wife experienced what women experience, and she had not made a condition, and I had no choice but to return to my country here, because I am bound by official work that I cannot be absent from, and I had no one in Makkah to leave my family with. So I returned with my family, and they are still in their state of ihram until the period ends, then I will return them to Makkah to complete their 'Umrah. I did what I did out of necessity, so what is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding what I did? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : The action this questioner took is valid, meaning that the woman returns while in her state of ihram, and when she becomes pure, she returns to Makkah and completes the 'Umrah. But I advise women whose period is approaching that when they reach the miqat, they should say at the time of ihram: so that if such an obstacle occurs, she can exit the state of ihram and return with her family. But suppose she is not on the brink, meaning she did not anticipate the period, then she entered ihram and the period came early, what does she do? We say she remains in her state of ihram until she becomes pure, then she performs tawaf and sa'y. Then, if her family leaves before that, she goes with them and remains in her state of ihram, and then they return her, because the matter does not involve hardship. But suppose she is a woman from another country and cannot return, in this case she exits the state of ihram. And if she is able to slaughter the hady in Makkah, Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Baqarah 2:196] Yes.
