السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Question: I’ve travelled for Umrah and put my Ihrām on. However, my bleeding started whilst I was on the plane after making the intention of Ihrām. My periods are for ten days and we will be staying in Makkah for five days only. What should I do? If I decide to break my Ihrām then what happens after that? And what if I remain in the state of Ihrām until I go to Madinah then can I come back to perform Umrah once I am clean? Please guide me in this matter.

Answer
In reference to your query, you have two options; the first option is to remain in the state of Ihrām and go to Madinah Munawwarah until you become clean. After becoming clean, come back to Makkah Mukarramah in the same Ihrām and perform your Umrah. This is the correct option and should be done in the aforementioned situation. There is no penalty for leaving the boundaries of haram in the state of Ihrām.[1]
The second option is to break the Ihrām by cutting the hair and leave for Madinah. Once you become clean then put on your Ihrām and do qadha for the Umrah you breeched. This, however, is not the appropriate option but should you do it anyways then a dam (sacrifice of a sheep or goat) will be compulsory for breaking the Ihrām.[2]
