Sayyidah Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: On the day of Eid, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to take young unmarried girls, women observing purdah, and even menstruating women (to the Eid ground). As for the menstruating women, they would stay away from the prayer but would participate in goodness and the supplications of the Muslims. A woman asked: If one of us does not have a cloak, then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Another woman should give her cloak.
