The Rare Ahadith

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about the case of a girl (young woman) who did not experience Hayd (menses), traveled with her husband and family and began to experience Hayd (menses); but felt embarrassed to tell her husband or family until they completed all acts and she was in that condition. Her husband had sexual intercourse with her. They returned to al-Kufah and she told it (her story) to her family. He (the Imam) said, ‘She owes to drive a badanah and al-Hajj in future. Her husband is not obligated for anything in this matter.’”

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘A woman experiencing Hayd (menses) who has performed Tawaf then wants to say farewell to the House, should stand near any of the doors of the Masjid and say farewell to the House.’”

“I once sent a message to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), that one of first time al-Hajj performing women with us has begun experiencing Hayd. What must she do? He (the Imam) said, ‘She must wait until al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajj ah), if she is clean by that time, she says Talbiyah, otherwise, she must assume the state of Ihram before it is al-Tarwiyah (eight of Dhu al-Hajjah).”’

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman has performed Tawaf al-Nisa’, more than half of it, then begins experiencing Hayd (menses), she can leave if she wanted.’”

“I was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when a man during the night came to him (the Imam) and said, ‘May Allah keep you well, there is a woman with us who experiences Hayd (menses) and has not performed Tawaf al-Nisa’. He (the Imam) said, ‘She has already asked this question today.’ He said, ‘May Allah keep you well, I am her husband and I love to hear it from you.’ He (the Imam) looked down as if speaking to himself and saying, ‘Her beauty will not remain and she cannot stay behind from her companions; she can go, her al-Hajj is complete.’”
