Sahih al-Bukhari 1720 (Book 26, Hadith 13)
said, “Whoever wants to assume Ihram for `Umra may do so, and whoever wants to assume Ihram for
Hajj may do so. Had not I brought the Hadi with me, I would have assumed Ihram for `Umra.” Some
of the people assumed Ihram for `Umra while others for Hajj. I was amongst those who had assumed
Ihram for `Umra. I got my menses before entering Mecca, and was menstruating till the day of
`Arafat. I complained to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about it, he said, “Abandon your `Umra, undo and comb your
hair, and assume Ihram for Hajj.” So, I did that accordingly. When it was the night of Hasba (day of
departure from Mina), the Prophet (ﷺ) sent `Abdur Rahman with me to at-Tan`im.
The sub-narrator adds: He (`Abdur-Rahman) let her ride behind him. And she assumed Ihram for
`Umra in lieu of the abandoned one. Aisha completed her Hajj and `Umra, and no Hadi, Sadaqa
(charity), or fasting was obligatory for her.
