Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam which Allah Almighty ordained upon His servants. It must be performed by those who are physically and financially capable. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj once, in the tenth Hijri year, and it was called the Farewell Hajj. So, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) conveyed the details of this Hajj from him, in order for us to learn the manner of Hajj enjoined by Allah, Exalted be He. In this Hadīth, Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that they - i.e., most of them - came with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ready for the Hajj of Ifrād. Ihlāl: raising one's voice with Talbiyah. It here means intending to assume Ihrām. Ifrād means that the pilgrim assumes Ihrām for Hajj only. ‘Ā’ishah, Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), was among those who assumed Ihrām for ‘Umrah. When they were in 'Sarif', the name of a place ten miles (nearly 16km) away from Makkah, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) got her menses. When they arrived in Makkah, they performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah, and then performed Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah, which are the rituals of ‘Umrah. Then, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who did not bring a Hady - anything offered to the Ka‘bah from livestock, camels, cows, and sheep as an act of worship to Allah - to end their Ihrām. They asked: To what extent should we end our Ihrām? They were hesitant regarding that because they came for Hajj, and a performer of Hajj should not end his Ihrām until he has completed all the rituals. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) answered them: 'Completely' i.e., all things forbidden due to Ihrām are now permissible. This state is called Tamattu‘ in Hajj. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and some of his Companions were among those who brought the Hady with them. So, they did not end their Ihrām. Those who did not bring the Hady obeyed the Prophet's command by taking off their clothing of Ihrām and then they cut their hair - they did not shave it so that they could do so after Hajj - and engaged in sexual intercourse with their women, applied perfume, and wore the clothes forbidden under Ihrām. At that point, only four nights separated them from standing at ‘Arafah, on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah. Then, those who performed ‘Umrah in Tamattu‘ Hajj assumed Ihrām for Hajj on the day of Tarwiyah, the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah. It was called as such because the water was little in Mina; so, they would quench their thirst with water and would carry it for later use. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the place of ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and found her weeping. He asked her why she wept, and she told him about her menses and that it prevented her from performing ‘Umrah, as she did not perform Tawāf around the Ka‘bah, and that she was still in her menstruation while the people were preparing for the rituals of Hajj. So, she was weeping over missing all of that. Comforting her, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This" i.e., the menses, is something that Allah Almighty decreed for the daughters of Adam. So, take a bath for cleansing and then assume Ihrām for Hajj, i.e., be in the Ihrām you have assumed. A woman in menstruation or postpartum period may perform all the rituals of Hajj except for Tawāf, as per the Prophet's statement: "So, do all what the pilgrims do, but do not perform Tawāf." Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim. ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did what the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined her to do. She performed all the rituals, standing at ‘Arafah and going to Muzdalifah and Mina. Then, when she became pure from her menses, she performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah, and performed Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed her that she ended Ihrām from both her Hajj and ‘Umrah, and this is because the rituals of ‘Umrah were incorporated into Hajj, as she became a performer of Qirān Hajj. Therefore, she ended Ihrām from both at the same time. Thereupon, ‘Ā’ishah said to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): "I feel upset because I did not make Tawāf around the House until I performed Hajj," i.e., when she assumed Ihrām for ‘Umrah in the beginning. She used the word Hajj and meant ‘Umrah. The intended meaning is that she did not perform the ‘Umrah of Tamattu‘ like others. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked her brother ‘Abdur-Rahmān ibn Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to take her to At-Tan‘īm so that she could assume Ihrām for ‘Umrah from there - comforting her heart. At-Tan‘īm is a place situated from 5 to 6 kilometers away from Makkah, and it is the closest area of Al-Hill (outside of the sacred precinct) to the House. It was called as such because Mount Nu‘aym lies to its right side and Mount Nā‘im lies to its left, and the valley is called Na‘mān. All that happened during the night of Al-Hasbah, i.e., the night of stay in Al-Muhassab after departing from Mina. Al-Muhassab is a place outside Makkah, and it is a broad channel area that contains tiny pebbles. It lies between Mina and Makkah and is closer to Mina. It is said: It is the place of throwing the pebbles in Mina. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) alighted there after the days of throwing the pebbles, where his freed slave Abu Rāfi‘ had set up the tent for him. The stopping and staying in this place happened before the farewell Tawāf. It is narrated in the Sahīh Al-Bukhāri Collection "that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Zhuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib, and ‘Ishā’ prayers and then had a sleep in Al-Muhassab, after which he rode toward the House and performed Tawāf around it." The Hadīth indicates that if a performer of ‘Umrah is a resident of Makkah or coming from outside Makkah and lies within the Miqāt, his Miqāt is from Al-Hill, and if he lies outside the Miqāt, then his Miqāt is the Miqāt of his Hajj. It also mentions that Hajj may be dissolved and turned into ‘Umrah. The Hadīth demonstrates that one Tawāf and one Sa‘i are sufficient for both the Hajj and ‘Umrah of a performer of Qirān Hajj..
