Sahih al-Bukhari 1786 (Book 26, Hadith 13) #1711
Completing Both Hajj and Umrah

SUMMARY: Aisha was unable to perform Umrah due to her menses, so the Prophet (ﷺ) allowed her to abandon it and perform Hajj instead. She was then able to complete both Hajj and Umrah without any additional obligations.

Narrated 'Aisha: We set out with Allah's Messenger ﷺ shortly before the appearance of the new moon of Dhi-l-Hijja and he said, "Whoever wants to assume Ihram for 'Umra may do so, and whoever wants to assume Ihram for Hajj may do so. Had not I brought the Hadi with me, I would have assumed Ihram for 'Umra". Some of the people assumed Ihram for 'Umra while others for Hajj. I was amongst those who had assumed Ihram for 'Umra. I got my menses before entering Mecca, and was menstruating till the day of 'Arafat. I complained to Allah's Messenger ﷺ about it, he said, "Abandon your 'Umra, undo and comb your hair, and assume Ihram for Hajj". So, I did that accordingly. When it was the night of Hasba (day of departure from Mina), the Prophet ﷺ sent 'Abdur Rahman with me to at-Tan'im. The sub-narrator adds: He ('Abdur-Rahman) let her ride behind him. And she assumed Ihram for 'Umra in lieu of the abandoned one. Aisha completed her Hajj and 'Umra, and no Hadi, Sadaqa (charity), or fasting was obligatory for her.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُوَافِينَ لِهِلاَلِ ذِي الْحَجَّةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُهِلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَلْيُهِلَّ، وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُهِلَّ بِحَجَّةِ فَلْيُهِلَّ، وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي أَهْدَيْتُ لأَهْلَلْتُ بِعُمْرَةٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ، وَمِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَهَلَّ بِحَجَّةٍ، وَكُنْتُ مِمَّنْ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ، فَحِضْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ، فَأَدْرَكَنِي يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ، فَشَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ دَعِي عُمْرَتَكِ، وَانْقُضِي رَأْسَكِ وَامْتَشِطِي، وَأَهِلِّي بِالْحَجِّ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَفَعَلْتُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ الْحَصْبَةِ أَرْسَلَ مَعِي عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ، فَأَرْدَفَهَا، فَأَهَلَّتْ بِعُمْرَةٍ مَكَانَ عُمْرَتِهَا، فَقَضَى اللَّهُ حَجَّهَا وَعُمْرَتَهَا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ هَدْىٌ، وَلاَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلاَ صَوْمٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Aisha was unable to perform the religious obligation of performing an 'Umra due to her menses. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ allowed her to abandon it and instead assume Ihram for a Hajj, which she did accordingly. After completing the pilgrimage, she was not required to do any additional obligations such as offering a Hadi, Sadaqa or fasting in lieu of the abandoned 'Umra. This hadith teaches us that Allah is merciful and understanding towards those who are unable or hindered from fulfilling their religious duties due to certain circumstances beyond their control. It also shows us that we should be patient when faced with difficulties in our lives as Allah will always provide us with solutions if we turn towards Him in prayer and supplication.
