Question:
If a woman begins menstruating before she starts the 'Umrah, O Shaykh, what does she do after she has entered the state of ihram?
Answer:
She remains in Makkah until she becomes pure, then she performs the tawaf and sa'y and shortens her hair. If there is a pressing need for her to travel to Ta'if, Jeddah, or elsewhere, she travels while still in her state of ihram, and then returns to complete the tawaf and sa'y of the 'Umrah. However, if she had stipulated: "If I am prevented by a preventer," and then menstruation strikes her; she may exit the state of ihram if she wishes. That is, if an excuse strikes her, a preventer, meaning an excuse such as menstruation, she exits the state of ihram and owes nothing. Or if she is struck by illness. Yes.
