Is there anything upon her after she entered into a state of Ihram for 'Umrah and invoked upon herself imprisonment, then her menstruation came and she did not go?

Menstruation does not prevent the completion of the rites, and a menstruating woman should perform all the actions of a pilgrim except circumambulating the Kaaba until she becomes pure. If a woman in ihram stipulated at the time of assuming ihram that she would exit ihram if she were prevented by an impediment, and then she menstruated and was unable to complete the rites, she may exit ihram and owes nothing. If she is unable to complete the rites and remains in ihram, and then becomes unable to go to Mecca, she is considered like one who is muhsar (prevented from completing the pilgrimage) and may exit ihram by sacrificing a hady (sacrificial animal). If she is unable to do so, she should fast for ten days and then exit ihram. Praying against oneself with evil is ignorance and was forbidden by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
