If a menstruating woman reaches the miqat, she should enter into ihram and perform all the rituals of Hajj except for Tawaf. The two rak'ahs of prayer before ihram are not a condition for the validity of ihram; rather, they are among the recommended sunnahs according to the more correct opinion. Some scholars hold that prayer is not prescribed specifically for ihram.
