2742. It was narrated that 'Aîshah said: "We set out with no intention other than Hajj. And when we were in Sarif, my menses came. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ entered upon me while I was weeping, and he said: 'Have your menses come?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'That is something that Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, has decreed for the daughters of Âdam. Do everything that the pilgrim in Ihrâm does, but do not circumambulate the House.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
"And when we were in Sarif": Here some clause or phrase has been curtailed, that our aim was to perform Hajj but the Prophet ﷺ commanded those people who had not brought sacrificial animals with them to convert their Hajj Ihram into that of Ihram for 'Umrah. "I also changed my Ihram into that of 'Umrah, but then I entered in the state of menses." Apparently, no integral of the 'Umrah can be fulfilled in the state of menses. This was the reason for her weeping. The meaning of the Prophet's ﷺ command is; then you begin Ihram for Hajj, because the period of menses would not end before Hajj.
