' A' isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (in his) Farewell Pilgrimage near the time of the appearance of the new moon of Dhul-Hijja. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who amongst you intends to put on Ihram for 'Umra may do so; had I not brought sacrificial animals along with me, I would have put on Ihram for 'Umra. She (further said). There were some persons who put on Ihram for 'Umra, and some persons who put on Ihram for Hajj, and I was one of those who put on Ihram for 'Umra. We went on till we reached Mecca, and on the day of 'Arafa I found myself in a state of menses, but I did not put off the Ihram for 'Umra. I told about (this state of mine) to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), whereupon he said: Abandon your 'Umra, and undo the hair of your head and comb (them), and put on Ihram for Hajj. She (' A' isha) said: I did accordingly. When it was the night at Hasba and Allah enabled us to complete our Hajj, he (the Holy Prophet) sent with me 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abu Bakr, and he mounted me behind him on his camel and took me to Tan 'im and I put on Ihram for 'Umra, and thus Allah enabled us to complete our Hajj and 'Umra and (we were required to observe) neither sacrifice nor alms nor fasting.
