Tawoos says: I was with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), when Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Do you give the fatwa that a menstruating woman can leave without performing the Tawaf of the House of Allah? He said: Yes. He (Zaid) said: Do not give this fatwa. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: If you do not believe me, then ask such-and-such Ansari woman, did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) command her regarding this matter? Sayyiduna Zaid returned from there laughing and saying: I think you have spoken the truth.
