Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is a

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 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. 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."

(the period) has finished wash the blood off your body (take a
bath) and offer your prayers."

of the blood spot, rub it, and wash it with water and then pray
in (with it)."

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

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

with the intention of performing Hajj. Allah's Apostle said,

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

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."

Prophet in his last Hajj. Some of us intended to perform 'Umra

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. I did

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).' " Hafsa asked Um 'Atiya
