Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: In the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage, we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We proclaimed the Talbiyah for Umrah, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those who have a sacrificial animal with them should proclaim the Talbiyah for both Hajj and Umrah together; they will become lawful from both together. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: When I reached Mecca, I began menstruating, so I could not perform the Tawaf of the House and the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah. I complained about this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: Untie your hair, comb it, and enter into Ihram for Hajj, and leave the Umrah. So I did as he instructed. When we had completed Hajj, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me with my brother Abdur Rahman to Tan’eem so that I could perform Umrah, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is in place of your Umrah. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Those who had entered into Ihram for Umrah became lawful after performing the Tawaf of the House and the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah, then after coming from Mina, they performed the Tawaf for Hajj. And those who had combined Hajj and Umrah, that is, performed Qiran Hajj, performed only one Tawaf.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … “And abandon the ‘umrah” — its meaning is that the acts of ‘umrah, i.e., tawaf (circumambulation), sa‘i (walking between Safa and Marwah), and taqsir (shortening of the hair), should be abandoned, and the talbiyah (proclamation) for Hajj Qiran should be commenced. It does not mean that Sayyidah A’ishah radi Allahu anha should become halal (exit the state of ihram) and then enter into ihram again. “This is in place of your ‘umrah.” That is, the ‘umrah from Tan‘im performed by Sayyidah A’ishah radi Allahu anha is a substitute for the separate ‘umrah that was to be performed while doing Hajj Tamattu‘, as was done by the other Mothers of the Believers and some Companions; otherwise, Sayyidah A’ishah radi Allahu anha had already performed one ‘umrah within her Hajj Qiran. From the end of this hadith, it is clearly understood that for those performing Hajj Qiran, one tawaf suffices for both Hajj and ‘umrah. However, Imam Abu Hanifah is of the opinion that even such pilgrims must perform two tawafs, but this opinion is considered weak (marjuh).
