Sahih Muslim 1211ae (Book 15, Hadith 430) #10365
Traveling During Menses According to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a woman who was menstruating and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) allowed her to travel despite her condition.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said to the Messenger of Allah : Messenger of Allah, Safiyyah bint Huyayy has entered the state of menses, whereupon Allah's Messenger said: Perhaps she is going to detain us. Has she not circumambulated the House along with you (i. e. whether she has not performed Tawaf Ifada)? They said: Yes. He said: Then they should set out.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَىٍّ قَدْ حَاضَتْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لَعَلَّهَا تَحْبِسُنَا أَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَدْ طَافَتْ مَعَكُنَّ بِالْبَيْتِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَاخْرُجْنَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a woman named Safiyyah bint Huyayy who was menstruating and wanted to travel. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked if she had already performed the ritual of circumambulating around the Kaaba, known as Tawaf Ifada, which she had done. He then gave permission for her and those travelling with her to set out on their journey. This shows that even though women are not allowed to perform certain rituals during their menstrual cycle, they are still able to travel if necessary. It also teaches us that we should always seek permission from our elders before embarking on any journey or undertaking any task.
