Ikrimah says: There was a disagreement between Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) regarding the woman who becomes menstruating after performing the Tawaf al-Ziyarah. Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Before departure, her last act should be the Tawaf of the House of Allah. And Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If she has performed the Tawaf on the day of sacrifice, then she may depart whenever she wishes. When the Ansar saw this disagreement, they said: O Ibn Abbas! We will not follow you, because you oppose Zaid. He said: You people should ask the lady of your family, Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I too experienced menstruation after performing the Tawaf of the House of Allah on the day of sacrifice, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to depart (without performing the farewell Tawaf). Similarly, when Sayyida Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) became menstruating, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to her: Woe to you, indeed you are going to detain us. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he said: Order her to depart.
