Hafsa bint Sirin says that we used to prevent our young girls from going out. During that time, a woman came and stayed at Qasr bin Khalaf. She told us that her sister was married to a companion of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), who had participated in twelve battles with the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and my sister says, "I also took part in them." My sister said, "We used to treat the wounded and take care of the sick." Then once my sister asked the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), "If one of us does not have a cloak and cannot go out for the Eid prayer, will there be any sin on her?" The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said, "Her friend should share her cloak with her, and she should also be present at the time of goodness and the Muslims' supplication." Hafsa bint Sirin says, "Then when Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) came, we asked her, and she said, 'Did you hear the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say something like this?'" Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) had a habit that whenever she mentioned the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), she would always say, "May my father be sacrificed for him." So she said even now, "Yes, may my father be sacrificed for him." She said, "Young veiled girls and menstruating women should also go out for the prayer so that they may participate in goodness and the Muslims' supplication. However, menstruating women should stay away from the rows of those who are praying." I asked Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) about the menstruating woman, and she said, "Do these women not go to Arafat and are they not present at such and such occasions?"
