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

person to do the same. 'Aisha told me that she
used to comb the hair of Allah's Apostle while she
was in her menses, and he was in Itikaf (in the

Once Allah's

alms, as I have seen that the majority of the
dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They
asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle
?" He replied, "You curse frequently and
are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen
anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion
than you. A cautious sensible man could be led
astray by some of you." The women asked,
"O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our
intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is
not the evidence of two women equal to the witness
of one man?" They replied in the affirmative.

intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can
neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The
women replied in the affirmative. He said,
"This is the deficiency in her
religion."

In the last Hajj of
Allah's Apostle I assume the Ihram for Hajj along
with Allah Apostle. I was one of those who
intended Tamattu' (to perform Hajj an 'Umra) and
did not take the Hadi (animal for sacrifice) with
me. I got my menses and was not clean till the
night of 'Arafa I said, "O Allah's Apostle!
It is the night of the day of 'Arafat and I
intended to perform the Hajj Tamattu' with 'Umra
Allah's Apostle told me to undo my hair and comb
it and to postpone the 'Umra. I did the same and
completed the Hajj. On the night of Al-Hasba (i.e.
place outside Mecca where the pilgrims go after
finishing all the ceremonies Hajj at Mina) he (the
Prophet ordered 'Abdur Rahman ('Aisha's brother)
to take me to At-Tan'im to assume the lhram
for'Umra in lieu of that of Hajj-atTamattu' which
I had intended to perform.

On the 1st of
Dhul-Hijja we set out with the intention of
performing Hajj. Allah's Apostle said, "Any
one who likes to assume the Ihram for 'Umra he can
do so. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would
have assumed the Ihram for 'Umra. "Some of us
assumed the Ihram for 'Umra while the others
assumed the Ihram for Hajj. I was one of those who
assumed the Ihram for 'Umra. I got menses and kept
on menstruating until the day of 'Arafat and
complained of that to the Prophet . He told me to
postpone my 'Umra, undo and comb my hair, and to
assure the Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the
right of Hasba, he sent my brother 'Abdur-Rahman
bin Abi Bakr with me to At-Tah'im, where I assumed
the Ihram for'Umra in lieu of the previous one.
Hisham said, "For that ('Umra) no Hadi,
fasting or alms were required.

Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
The Prophet said,
"At every womb Allah appoints an angel who
says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot. O
Lord! A little lump of flesh." Then if Allah
wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks,
(O Lord!) Will it be a male or female, a wretched
or a blessed, and how much will his provision be?
And what will his age be?' So all that is written
while the child is still in the mother's
womb."

for'Umra and had not brought the Hadi should
finish his lhram and whoever had assumed the Ihram
for 'Umra and brought the Hadi should not finish
the Ihram till he has slaughtered his Hadi and
whoever had assumed the lhram for Hajj should
complete his Hajj." 'Aisha further said,
"I got my periods (menses) and kept on
menstruating till the day of 'Arafat, and I had
assumed the Ihram for 'Umra only (Tamattu'). The
Prophet ordered me to undo and comb my head hair
and assume the lhram for Hajj only and leave the 'Umra.

battles along with the Prophet and her sister was
with her husband in six (out of these twelve). She
(the woman's sister) said, "We used to treat
the wounded, look after the patients and once I
asked the Prophet, 'Is there any harm for any of
us to stay at home if she doesn't have a veil?' He
said, 'She should cover herself with the veil of
her companion and should participate in the good
deeds and in the religious gathering of the
Muslims.' When Um 'Atiya came I asked her whether
she had heard it from the Prophet. She replied,
"Yes. May my father be sacrificed for him
(the Prophet)! (Whenever she mentioned the Prophet
she used to say, 'May my father be sacrificed for
him) I have heard the Prophet saying, 'The
unmarried young virgins and the mature girl who
stay often screened or the young unmarried virgins
who often stay screened and the menstruating women
should come out and participate in the good deeds
as well as the religious gathering of the faithful
believers but the menstruating women should keep
away from the Musalla (praying place).' "
