Sahih al-Bukhari 302 (Book 6, Hadith 10)
came to me, I was weeping. He asked, “Why are you weeping?” I said, “I wish if I had not performed
Hajj this year.” He asked, “May be that you got your menses?” I replied, “Yes.” He then said, “This is
the thing which Allah has ordained for all the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do
except that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba till you are clean.”
“ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ شَىْءٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ، فَافْعَلِي مَا يَفْعَلُ الْحَاجُّ، غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى تَطْهُرِي ”.
Sahih al-Bukhari 302 (Book 6, Hadith 10)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
