Sahih al-Bukhari 294 (Book 6, Hadith 1) #293
Menstruation During Hajj

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that menstruation is a natural thing ordained by Allah for women and that they should still perform all the rituals of Hajj except for circumambulation around the Ka'ba.

Narrated Al-Qasim: 'Aisha said, "We set out with the sole intention of performing Hajj and when we reached Sarif, (a place six miles from Mecca) I got my menses. Allah's Messenger came to me while I was weeping. He said 'What is the matter with you? Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes'. He said, 'This is a thing which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do with the exception of the Tawaf (Circumambulation) round the Ka'ba"'.Aisha added, "Allah's Messenger sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، تَقُولُ خَرَجْنَا لاَ نَرَى إِلاَّ الْحَجَّ، فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِسَرِفَ حِضْتُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا لَكِ أَنُفِسْتِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَذَا أَمْرٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ، فَاقْضِي مَا يَقْضِي الْحَاجُّ، غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ وَضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نِسَائِهِ بِالْبَقَرِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains an important lesson about menstruation and its role in performing the rituals of Hajj. It is narrated by Aisha who was one of Prophet Muhammad's wives. She recounts how she was weeping when Prophet Muhammad came to her and asked her what was wrong. When she told him she got her menses, he explained to her that this is something Allah has ordained for daughters of Adam and instructed her to do all the rituals of Hajj except circumambulation around the Ka'ba. He then sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives as part of their ritual obligations during their pilgrimage. This hadith teaches us that menstruation is a natural process ordained by Allah which should not be seen as something shameful or embarrassing but rather accepted with grace and dignity while still fulfilling our religious obligations in life such as performing hajj or other religious duties like prayer or fasting if possible during this time period.
