Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: We set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) only intending Hajj. When we reached Sarif, I began menstruating. The Prophet (ﷺ) entered while I was crying and asked, "What is wrong?" I said, "I have gotten my period." He said, "This is what Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam. Do everything the pilgrims do, except Tawaf until you are pure."
