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."

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

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.

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."

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

"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).'
