Q: I set out to perform `Umrah in the year 1412 A.H. On the way, (Part No. 10; Page No. 376) I got my period and when we reached our place of residence, my family went to perform `Umrah and I stayed behind. When they asked me when my menses would be over, I shyly and ignorantly replied that it would end the next day because I wanted so much to make `Umrah since it was my first time to visit Makkah. I kept on drinking cold liquids and bathing in cold water, thinking that this would stop my menses.I went to the Miqat (site for entering the ceremonial state for Hajj and `Umrah) and performed Ghusl (full ritual bath) with cold water. I assumed the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) and wore clean clothes and placed a white towel where the blood comes out. I performed Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj and `Umrah) and I then went to make sure whether there was any blood. I found two drops of red blood and I do not know whether it came out during Tawaf or Sa`y. Four years after this `Umrah, I set out to perform Tamattu` Hajj (`Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between) and thereafter I got married. Is my `Umrah invalid and does the Tamattu` Hajj make up for that `Umrah? Is my marriage contract invalid and should it be renewed? Do I have to offer a sacrifice?
