Home Hadith Hadith 302
We set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Hajj and when we reached Sarif I got my menses. When the Prophet (ﷺ)
came to me, I was weeping. He asked, "Why are you weeping?" I said, "I wish if I had not performed
Hajj this year." He asked, "May be that you got your menses?" I replied, "Yes." He then said, "This is
the thing which Allah has ordained for all the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do
except that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba till you are clean."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 6, Hadith 10

Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of `Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer.
Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give 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 Messenger (ﷺ) ?" 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 Messenger (ﷺ)! 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. He
said, "This is the deficiency in her 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."

Fatima bint Abi Hubaish said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I do not become clean (from
bleeding). Shall I give up my prayers?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied: "No, because it is from a blood vessel
and not the menses. So when the real menses begins give up your prayers and when it (the period) has
finished wash the blood off your body (take a bath) and offer your prayers."
