The answer

If a woman experiences menstruation before assuming ihram and passes the miqat, she must assume ihram. When she arrives in Mecca, she should wait until she becomes pure. If it is not possible for her to wait and she wishes to travel, she should perform ghusl and complete her umrah. This is permissible according to some scholars. However, it is more cautious (i.e., al-ahwat) to offer a sheep as a hady.
