Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Matar that a woman asked her husband for permission to perform Hajj, but the husband did not grant her permission. Then she asked her husband for permission to visit the House of Allah, and the husband granted her permission. Then the woman put on white clothes and began to recite the Talbiyah (the call for Hajj) aloud. People came to Hasan and asked him about this. Hasan said: "O fools! This is permissible for her." Hazrat Matar says that Hazrat Qatadah was asked about this, and he said: "That woman will be considered in the state of Ihram." Hazrat Matar says that then I went to Makkah Mukarramah and asked Hazrat Hakam bin Utaibah about this, and he said: "That woman is in the state of Ihram." Hazrat Matar says that then I assigned a person to ask Hazrat Ata bin Abi Rabah about this, and he said: "No! There is no coolness of the eyes in this for her; this is not for her."
