Home Hadith Hadith 1591
I was menstruating when I reached Mecca. So, I neither performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba, nor the Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa. Then I informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. He replied, "Perform all the
ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims, but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean
(from your menses)."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 25, Hadith 131
← Previous Hadith
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and the Sa`i of Safa and Marwa so as to show his
strength to the pagans.

The Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and
Talha had the Hadi (sacrifice) with them. `Ali arrived from Yemen and had a Hadi with him. `Ali said,
"I have assumed Ihram for what the Prophet (ﷺ) has done." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his companions to
perform the `Umra with the lhram which they had assumed, and after finishing Tawaf (of Ka`ba, Safa
and Marwa) to cut short their hair, and to finish their lhram except those who had Hadi with them.
They (the people) said, "How can we proceed to Mina (for Hajj) after having sexual relations with our
wives?" When that news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "If I had formerly known what I came to know
lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me. Had there been no Hadi with me, I would have
finished the state of lhram." `Aisha got her menses, so she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj except
Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and when she got clean (from her menses), she performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba.
She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (All of you) are returning with the Hajj and `Umra, but I am returning
after performing Hajj only." So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to accompany her
to Tan`im and thus she performed the `Umra after the Hajj.
