Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: We set out (for Hajj) near the new moon of Dhu al-Hijjah, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“If I had not brought the sacrificial animal (hadi), I would have assumed ihram for ‘Umrah.”So some people assumed ihram for ‘Umrah (Hajj al-Tamattu‘), and some people assumed ihram for Hajj (Qiran), and I was among those who assumed ihram for ‘Umrah. Then the day of ‘Arafah came upon me while I was menstruating, so I complained about this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said:“Suspend your ‘Umrah, undo your hair and comb it, and assume ihram for Hajj.”(So I did as he instructed) until when the night of Hasbah came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent my brother ‘Abdur Rahman bin Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) with me, so I went to Tan‘im and assumed ihram for ‘Umrah in place of the (missed) ‘Umrah. (Hisham, the narrator, says:) For none of these things was there any need to offer a sacrifice, or to fast, or to give charity.
