Lady Umm Atiyyah Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to bring along unmarried young girls, menstruating women, and women in seclusion (purdah) on the days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha (to the Eid ground). The menstruating women should stay away from the place of prayer, but participate in goodness and the supplications of the Muslims. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What if one of them does not have a cloak? He replied: Her sister should let her wear her own cloak.
