Is my 'umrah, which I performed after puberty, valid, given my previous ignorance of madhy (pre-seminal fluid) and many (semen), the possibility of my clothes being impure, and my not remembering the details of purification? Do I need to make up for it or offer expiation because of that? Am I still in a state of ihram? What are the consequences for me regarding the ihram prohibitions that I committed? And what if I delay making up for it?

If the questioner performed Tawaf for Umrah while knowing she was in a state of impurity, her Tawaf is invalid, because purification is a condition for the validity of Tawaf according to the majority of scholars. She must go to Mecca to complete her Umrah by performing a valid Tawaf, then Sa'i, and then cutting her hair. However, if what was mentioned are mere doubts and delusions, then do not pay attention to them.
