Worship Hajj

"Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:\n\nOnce 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.\"\n\nNarrated `Aisha:\n\nWe 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.\"\n\nNarrated `Aisha:\n\nIn the last Hajj of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I assumed the Ihram for Hajj along with Allah Apostle. I was one of those who intended Tamattu` (to perform Hajj and `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 Messenger (ﷺ) 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 he ordered `Abdur Rahman (`Aisha's brother) to take me to at-Tan`im to assume the Ihram for `Umra in lieu of that of Hajj-at-Tamattu` which I had intended to perform.\n\nNarrated `Aisha:\n\nOn the 1st of Dhul-Hijja we set out with the intention of performing Hajj. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 assume the Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the night of Hasba, he sent my brother `Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me to at-Tan`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.\"\n\nNarrated `Urwa:\n\n`Aisha said, \"We set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) in his last Hajj. Some of us intended to perform `Umra while others Hajj. When we reached Mecca, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Those who had assumed the Ihram for `Umra and had not brought the Hadi should finish his Ihram 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 Ihram 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 (ﷺ) ordered me to undo and comb my head hair and assume the Ihram for Hajj only and leave the `Umra. I did the same till I completed the Hajj. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) sent `Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me and ordered me to perform `Umra from at-Tan`im in lieu of the missed `Umra.'\"\n\nNarrated Mu`adha:\n\nA woman asked `Aisha, \"Should I offer the prayers that which I did not offer because of menses?\" `Aisha said, \"Are you from the Huraura' (a town in Iraq?) We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to get our periods but he never ordered us to offer them (the Prayers missed during menses).\" `Aisha perhaps said, \"We did not offer them.\""
