Ata said The Prophet ﷺ said to Aishah Your observance of circumambulation of the Kaabah and your running between Al Safa’ and al Marwah (only once) are sufficient for your Hajj and your ‘Umrah. Al Shafi’i said The narrator Sufyan has transmitted this tradition from Ata on the authority of Aishah and also narrated it on the authority of Ata stating that the Prophet ﷺ said to Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1897. Commentary: Initially, Aisha radi Allahu anha had assumed the ihram for umrah, but due to the onset of menstruation, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam instructed her to abandon her umrah and now make the intention for hajj and perform the rites of hajj. In this way, she became a qarin (one performing hajj and umrah together). Then, on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, the tawaf al-ifadah (ziyarah) and sa’i that she performed, the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam deemed sufficient for both her umrah and hajj.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: It is established from this hadith that Aisha radi Allahu anha performed Hajj Qiran. That is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
"Your circumambulation (tawaf) is sufficient for both your Hajj and your Umrah." From this, it is also established that for Qiran, a single circumambulation (tawaf) and a single sa'i are sufficient; there is no need for separate tawaf and sa'i for Hajj and Umrah. This is also the position of the majority (jumhur), as has already been mentioned.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
It was at the place of Sarif that Aisha radi Allahu anha began menstruating, which ended at Arafat, and on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah she performed ritual bath (ghusl), then performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, and after that performed the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam considered this tawaf and sa’i sufficient for both Hajj and Umrah.

639 Benefits and Issues:
➊ It should be noted that Aisha radi Allahu anha had intended to perform the talbiyah for ‘umrah, but she began menstruating, so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to her: “Leave the ‘umrah,” and instructed her to enter into the state of ihram for Hajj.
➋ In some narrations, it is mentioned that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «ارفضي عمرتك» «الرفض». The meaning is: to leave, that is, to disregard the acts and rituals of ‘umrah. It does not mean to exit from the ‘umrah and invalidate it. Invalidating Hajj and ‘umrah is not correct except in the case when, after completing the rites, one becomes lawful (halal) again. When she entered into the state of ihram for Hajj, she became a «قارنه».
➌ This hadith is evidence that for «قارن», a single tawaf and a single sa‘i suffice for both Hajj and ‘umrah.
