Woman in haidh entering into ihraam and delaying the umrah

Q: I'm currently in Madinah and my period started last night (Friday). My period lasts for 10 ten days. That has always been my habit. We leave for Makkah on Sunday insha-Allah. Do I enter into my ihraam and perform my umrah when we reach Makkah and pay my dum, or do I not enter ihraam on Sunday and delay my umrah till before we leave for home? 

A: Enter into ihraam and delay the umrah until you become paak. If you do this then you will not need to pay any dum.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
