بَابُ مَوَانِعِ الْحَيْضِ وَمَا تَقْضِي الْحَائِضُ مِنَ الْعِبَادَاتِChapter on the Prohibitions of Menstruation and What the Menstruating Woman Must Make Up of Acts of Worship
Hadith 933
اُردوEn
عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ قَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ: مَا بَالُ الْحَائِضِ تَقْضِي الصَّوْمَ وَلَا تَقْضِي الصَّلَاةَ؟ فَقَالَتْ: أَحَرُورِيَّةٌ أَنْتِ؟ قُلْتُ: لَسْتُ بِحَرُورِيَّةٍ وَلَكِنِّي أَسْأَلُ، قَالَتْ: قَدْ كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا ذَلِكَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنُؤْمَرُ وَلَا نُؤْمَرُ، فَيَأْمُرُ بِقَضَاءِ الصَّوْمِ وَلَا يَأْمُرُ بِقَضَاءِ الصَّلَاةِ
Mu’adhah says: I asked Sayyidah A’ishah (RA): What is the reason that a menstruating woman makes up missed fasts but does not make up missed prayers? She said to me: Are you from the region of Harura? I said: No, I am not a Haruriyyah, I am just asking a question. So she said: We used to experience menstruation during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we were commanded regarding some things and not commanded regarding others. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would order us to make up missed fasts but would not order us to make up missed prayers.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The rulings regarding a menstruating woman are well-known: during these days, she can neither perform prayer nor observe fasting. However, she will make up the missed fasts later. Since circumambulation (tawaf) of the House of Allah (Baytullah) is also referred to as prayer, she cannot perform tawaf in this state either. When the menstrual blood ceases, she will perform a ritual bath (ghusl) and become pure. Harura was the name of a place about two miles from Kufa; the Khawarij first gathered at this location. A group among them held the view that, just as a menstruating woman must make up missed fasts, she should also make up missed prayers. This was a false belief. In light of this view, Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha asked that woman whether she was associated with the Khawarij. In the following chapters, further rulings regarding menstruating women will be discussed.
