The collision occurred on Sunday, October 20, 2019, when Arshad was driving an Audi on Yorkshire Street.
She was rushed to hospital, and died three days later.
Arshad pleaded guilty during a hearing at Minshull Street Crown Court.
The judge adjourned sentencing until next month.
His barrister Wayne Jackson asked for a pre-sentence report to be compiled but said it would address the 'length of sentence', with Arshad likely facing a spell in jail.
"Following your plea of guilty to this matter, I am going to adjourn your case to September 17 for sentence," Judge Angela Neild told him.
"I will order a pre-sentence report, on the basis I have discussed with your counsel."
The court heard that Arshad, of Stamford Street, Rochdale, has no previous convictions.
He was granted bail until his sentencing hearing, and an interim driving ban was imposed.
Following her death, Halema's family issued a tribute to her.
In a statement, the family said: "Halema was a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister and auntie - the pillar in our family who selflessly supported us all through the good times and bad.
"Her little soul touched us all, and while she could not stay, her spirit changed us all before it sailed away.
"She stands as a tribute to all that surround her - a woman of great beauty, joy and happiness.
"We were blessed to be graced with such an angel.
"Her time with us was short and sweet but her memory we will always treasure and in our hearts she will live on forever."
