Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, then intended to fulfill his marital desire with Lady Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her). It was said to him that she had started her menstruation. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Will she prevent us from departing?" He was informed that she had already performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed (for Madinah) taking her along with him.
