(Book 20, Hadith 236) #35999
Performing Tawaf Al-Ifada During Menstruation

SUMMARY: Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, encouraged women who were expecting their periods to perform the tawaf al-ifada on the Day of Sacrifice and did not stop them from doing so even if they started menstruating.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Rijal Muhammad ibn Abd ar- Rahman from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that when A'isha umm al-muminin was doing hajj with women who were expecting their periods, she would hurry them to do the tawaf al-ifada on the Day of Sacrifice. If they started to menstruate after the tawaf al-ifada she did not stop for them but left with them while they were menstruating.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏.‏ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، كَانَتْ إِذَا حَجَّتْ وَمَعَهَا نِسَاءٌ تَخَافُ أَنْ يَحِضْنَ قَدَّمَتْهُنَّ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فَأَفَضْنَ فَإِنْ حِضْنَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ تَنْتَظِرْهُنَّ فَتَنْفِرُ بِهِنَّ - وَهُنَّ حُيَّضٌ - إِذَا كُنَّ قَدْ أَفَضْنَ
