The Intended Meaning of Aisha’s Circumambulation in the Hadith: “She Had Her Menstruation, So I Did Not Circumambulate”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: “He said:
`Aisha added, "I got my menses and could not perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba."عائشة رضي الله عنها فحضت فلم أطف بالبيت
Sahih al-Bukhari 1561
and she did not exit her state of ihram. Is the intended meaning her circumambulation for the 'Umrah or her circumambulation for the departure and farewell?”

Answer:
It is the circumambulation for the departure. She did not circumambulate the House for the departure, except that she was told, “Do not circumambulate the House until you become pure.” That means the circumambulation for the departure, so she delayed it until she became pure and performed the ritual bath, then she circumambulated. Yes, and every menstruating woman does this. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh!
