Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he learned that Safiyyah was menstruating, he said: "Aqra, Halqa, Ahabastina hi?" He asks: What is the meaning of these two terms?

Answer:
These are things that slip off the tongue. "Aqra" means her camel is barren, and "Halqa" means her hair is shaved. These were things they used to say, but they slip off the tongue without intending their meaning. Yes.
