It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the people used to depart from Mina (after Hajj) straight to their homes, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded them that their last time be spent at the House of Allah (that is, that they perform the farewell tawaf), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a concession from this to the menstruating woman. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
