Sahih Muslim 1328b (Book 15, Hadith 425) #10360
Circumambulation of the House During Menses

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a woman who was allowed to go without performing the last circumambulation of the House due to her being in menses.

Tawus reported: I was in the company of Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) when Zaid b. Thabit said: Do you give religious verdict that the woman who is in menses is allowed to go without performing the last circumambulation of the House? Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) said to him: Ask such and such woman of the Ansar, if you do not (believe my religious verdict) whether Allah's Messenger had commanded her this. Zaid b Thabit (went to that lady and after getting this verdict attested by her) came back to Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) smilingly and said: I did not find you but telling the truth.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ، بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِذْ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ تُفْتِي أَنْ تَصْدُرَ الْحَائِضُ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرُ عَهْدِهَا بِالْبَيْتِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِمَّا لاَ فَسَلْ فُلاَنَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّةَ هَلْ أَمَرَهَا بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَضْحَكُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَا أَرَاكَ إِلاَّ قَدْ صَدَقْتَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a woman who was allowed to go without performing the last circumambulation of the House due to her being in menses. The narrator Tawus reported that he was in the company of Ibn Abbas when Zaid b Thabit asked if it was permissible for a woman who is in menses to go without performing the last circumambulation of the House. Ibn Abbas then suggested that Zaid ask another Ansar woman if Allah's Messenger had commanded her this. After getting confirmation from this other lady, Zaid came back and confirmed that Ibn Abbas' religious verdict was correct. This hadith teaches us that it is permissible for women who are menstruating not to perform their final circumambulations around The Kaaba during Hajj or Umrah as long as they have been commanded by Allah's Messenger. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to seek out knowledge and confirmation from reliable sources before making any decisions regarding religious matters.
