Lu'lu' wal-Marjan

The purified wife of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that we set out with the Prophet (peace be upon him) for the Farewell Pilgrimage. First, we put on the Ihram for Umrah, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that whoever has a sacrificial animal with him should put on the Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah together. Such a person cannot become halal (come out of Ihram) in between, rather he will become halal from both Hajj and Umrah together. I also came to Makkah, and at that time I began menstruating, so I could neither perform the Tawaf of the House (Ka'bah) nor the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. I complained about this to the Prophet (peace be upon him), so he said: "Undo your hair, comb it, and leave the Umrah, and put on the Ihram for Hajj." So I did as he instructed. Then, when we had completed Hajj, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent me with my brother Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr to Tan'eem. There, I put on the Ihram for Umrah (and performed Umrah). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "This is in place of the Umrah you left (i.e., could not perform)." Lady Aisha narrated that those people who had put on the Ihram only for Umrah (during the Farewell Pilgrimage) became halal after performing the Tawaf of the House and the Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, and then after returning from Mina, they performed the second Tawaf (i.e., Tawaf al-Ziyarah). But those who had put on the Ihram for both Hajj and Umrah together performed only one Tawaf, i.e., Tawaf al-Ziyarah.
