Question: A woman in the state of Ihram menstruates and performs umrah in that state. After she became pure, she repeated her umrah Tawaf but without Ihram. Does she still need to give a dam? Please clarify in detail.
الجواب حامداً و مصلياً
In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer
As a general principal, a woman who is menstruating must wait until she is clean, have ghusl and then perform her Umrah, after which she will exit the Ihram.[1] Is she does perform Umrah during her menses, then the Umrah remain valid except she must pay a compensatory penalty, a Dam. If she repeats the tawaf of Umrah in the state of purity, then the Dam drops and won’t be liable for anything even if repeated without Ihram.[2] When repeating the Tawaf, you must make the intention beforehand.
Allāh Knows Best

قَوْلُهُ وَإِذَا حَاضَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ عِنْدَ الْإِحْرَامِ اغْتَسَلَتْ وَأَحْرَمَتْ وَصَنَعَتْ مَا يَصْنَعُهُ الْحَاجُّ غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا لَا تَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّىَ) لِأَنَّهَا مَنْهِيَّةٌ عَنْ دُخُولِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَالطَّوَافُ وَالْغُسْلُ هُنَا لِلْإِحْرَامِ لَا لِلصَّلَاةِ وَفَائِدَتُهُ النَّظَافَةُ

(وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْإِحْرَامَ اغْتَسَلَ أَوْ تَوَضَّأَ وَالْغُسْلُ أَفْضَلُ لِمَا رَوَى «أَنَّهُ اغْتَسَلَ لِإِحْرَامِهِ» وَقَوْلُهُ (إلَّا أَنَّهُ) اسْتِثْنَاءٌ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَالْغُسْلُ أَفْضَلُ، وَكَأَنَّهُ يَدْفَعُ مَا يُتَوَهَّمُ أَنَّ الْغُسْلَ إذَا كَانَ أَفْضَلَ، وَجَبَ أَنْ لَا يَقُومَ غَيْرُهُ مَقَامَهُ فَقَالَ إلَّا أَنَّهُ لِلتَّنْظِيفِ حَتَّى تُؤْمَرَ بِهِ الْحَائِضُ

وإذا أعاد المكلف الطواف الناقص، في جميع الحالات المذكورة، على وجه مشروع سقط عنه الدم لأن جنايته صارت متداركة. ولا يعيد السعي بعده.
