Chapter on the Ihram of a Menstruating Woman and One Experiencing Istihadah

إِنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ نَفِسَتْ بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ- بِالْبَيْدَاءِ لِأَرْبَعٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فِي حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَاغْتَسَلَتْ وَ احْتَشَتْ وَ أَحْرَمَتْ وَ لَبَّتْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا مَكَّةَ لَمْ تَطْهُرْ حَتَّى نَفَرُوا مِنْ مِنًى وَ قَدْ شَهِدَتِ الْمَوَاقِفَ كُلَّهَا- عَرَفَاتٍ وَ جَمْعاً وَ رَمَتِ الْجِمَارَ وَ لَك

Hadith.2755 - Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah (as): "Asma bint Umays gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr at al-Bayda, four days before the end of Dhu al-Qa‘dah, during the Farewell Pilgrimage. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) instructed her to perform ghusl, u

أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ مُتَمَتِّعَةٍ دَخَلَتْ مَكَّةَ فَحَاضَتْ فَقَالَ تَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ مَعَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى تَقْضِيَ طَوَافَهَا بَعْدُ.

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a woman performing tamattu‘ who entered Mecca and began menstruating. Imam (as) said: "She should perform sa‘i between Safa and Marwa, then leave with the people and complete her tawaf later when she becomes pure."

تُتِمُّ سَعْيَهَا[3] وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ حَاضَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَسْعَى قَالَ تَسْعَى.

Hadith.2757 - Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a woman who began her sa‘i between Safa and Marwa but started menstruating before completing it. Imam (as) said: "She should complete her sa‘i." He also asked about a woman who performed tawaf around the Kaaba and then menstruated before performing sa‘i. I

يُجْزِيهَا الْمَاءُ[1].

Hadith.2758 - Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated from one of the Imams (as): I asked him about a woman in the state of ihram who becomes pure (from menstruation). Can she wash her head with sidr (a cleansing plant like lote)? Imam (as) said: "Water alone suffices for her."

وَ رَوَى جَمِيلٌ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ‌ فِي الْحَائِضِ إِذَا قَدِمَتْ مَكَّةَ- يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ إِنَّهَا تَمْضِي كَمَا هِيَ إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ فَتَجْعَلُهَا حَجَّةً ثُمَّ تُقِيمُ حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ فَتَخْرُجَ إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ فَتُحْرِمَ فَتَجْعَلَهَا عُمْرَةً[2].

Hadith.2759 - Jamil narrated from Imam (as) that he said: "Regarding a menstruating woman who arrives in Mecca on the Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu al-Hijjah), she should proceed as she is to Arafat and perform Hajj. After completing the Hajj, she should remain in Mecca until she becomes pure, then go to Tan‘im, enter th

أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَجِي‌ءُ مُتَمَتِّعَةً فَتَطْمَثُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ فَقَالَ تَصِيرُ حَجَّةً مُفْرَدَةً وَ عَلَيْهَا دَمُ أُضْحِيَّتِهَا[3].

I asked Abu Ibrahim (as) about a woman performing tamattu‘ who begins menstruating before she can perform tawaf of the Kaaba and then proceeds to Arafat. Imam (as) said: "Her Hajj becomes an ifrad (Hajj alone), and she is required to offer the sacrifice of her hady (sacrificial animal)."

أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ مَعَهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَدِمَتْ مَكَّةَ وَ هِيَ لَا تُصَلِّي فَلَمْ تَطْهُرْ إِلَّا يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ طَهُرَتْ وَ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ لَمْ تَسْعَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ[4] حَتَّى شَخَصَتْ إِلَى عَرَفَاتٍ هَلْ تَعْتَدُّ بِذَلِكَ الطَّوَافِ أَوْ تُعِيدُ قَبْلَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ قَالَ تَعْتَدُّ بِذَلِكَ الطَّوَافِ الْأَوَّلِ وَ تَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ‌[5].

I asked Imam Abu Ibrahim (as) about a man who was accompanied by a woman who entered Mecca while she was menstruating. She did not become pure until the Day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu al-Hijjah). She purified herself, performed tawaf around the Kaaba, but did not perform the sa‘i between Safa and Marwa before proceeding t

لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ إِلَّا الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ وَ قَدْ قَضَتِ الطَّوَافَ‌[1].

I asked him about a woman who performed tawaf around the Kaaba but began menstruating before praying the two rak‘ahs of tawaf. Imam (as) said: "When she becomes pure, she is only required to pray the two rak‘ahs, as she has already completed the tawaf."

وَ رَوَى أَبَانٌ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ‌ إِذَا طَافَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ فَطَافَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ النِّصْفِ فَحَاضَتْ نَفَرَتْ إِنْ شَاءَتْ‌[2].

"If a woman performs the Tawaf al-Nisa and completes more than half of it but then begins menstruating, she may depart if she wishes."

أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع عَنْ جَارِيَةٍ لَمْ تَحِضْ خَرَجَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا وَ أَهْلِهَا فَحَاضَتْ فَاسْتَحْيَتْ أَنْ تُعْلِمَ أَهْلَهَا وَ زَوْجَهَا حَتَّى قَضَتِ الْمَنَاسِكَ وَ هِيَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالَةِ وَ وَاقَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ رَجَعَتْ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَتْ لِأَهْلِهَا قَدْ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ عَلَيْهَا سَوْقُ بَدَنَةٍ وَ الْحَجُّ مِنْ قَابِلٍ‌[3] وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا شَيْ‌ءٌ.

I asked Abu Ibrahim (as) about a young woman who had not previously menstruated, who went out with her husband and family. She began menstruating but was too shy to inform her family or husband. She completed the rituals in that state, her husband had intercourse with her, and they returned to Kufa. She then told her f

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about women in the state of ihram. Imam (as) said: "They may prepare themselves in whatever manner they wish. When they reach the tree (Miqat), they enter ihram for Hajj and recite the Talbiyah at the marker at the beginning of al-Bayda. Then they are brought to Mecca, where they should hasten

«تُتِمُّ طَوَافَهَا وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرُهُ وَ مُتْعَتُهَا تَامَّةٌ وَ لَهَا أَنْ تَطُوفَ بَيْنَ اَلصَّفَا وَ اَلْمَرْوَةِ لِأَنَّهَا زَادَتْ عَلَى اَلنِّصْفِ وَ قَدْ قَضَتْ مُتْعَتَهَا فَلْتَسْتَأْنِفْ بَعْدَ اَلْحَجِّ وَ إِنْ هِيَ لَمْ تَطُفْ إِلاَّ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ فَلْتَسْتَأْنِفْ بَعْدَ اَلْحَجِّ فَإِنْ أَقَامَ بِهَا جَمَّالُهَا بَعْدَ اَلْحَجِّ فَلْتَخْرُجْ إِلَى اَلْجِعْرَانَةِ أَوْ إِلَى اَلتَّنْعِيمِ

Hadith.2767 - Ibn Muskan narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq, from someone who asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a woman performing ‘Umrah who completed four rounds of tawaf and then began menstruating. Imam (as) said: "She should complete her tawaf, and nothing more is required of her. Her tamattu‘ is valid, and she may perfo
