The reader: And Amr ibn Ali told us, Abu 'Asim told us, Ibn Jurayj told us, 'Atta told us: .
The Shaykh : Women performing tawaf with men is permissible, and it is not possible to prevent it, especially in our times, because every woman is with her mahram. If women were prevented from mixing with men, the women would be lost and more evil would occur. However, if they were placed in a section, meaning far from the men, as Aishah did, that would be good. They used to do this here on days when there was not severe crowding; they would place the women on one side, and that is a good practice. As for preventing women and telling them not to perform tawaf except at night, for example, that is difficult. In our time, the matter is even more difficult. If we said men alone and women alone, a great fitnah would occur. Every person would be able to hunt for a woman without anyone opposing him. But a person must fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and avoid the crowding of women as much as possible. And the woman must also be aware of those wicked men who hunt for women in the tawaf, and may Allah protect us from that. You find a man clinging to her from the beginning of the tawaf to the end. We ask Allah for safety. How many cases have been caught? And in this, when Ibn Hisham prevented the women from performing tawaf with the men, he said: How did he prevent them when the women of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf? In this is evidence for arguing by action, meaning the action of the Companions, especially with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). For if an action in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was not rejected by the Messenger or by Allah (Mighty and Majestic), it is considered permissible if it is not from worship, and prescribed if it is from worship.

When Ibn Hisham prevented the women from performing tawaf with the men, he said: How did he prevent them when the women of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf with the men? I said: Was it after the hijab or before? He said: Yes, by my life, I witnessed it after the hijab. I said: How did the men mix with them? He said: They did not mix with them. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to perform tawaf in a section separated from the men, not mixing with them. A woman said: Go, let us touch the Black Stone, O Mother of the Believers. She said: Go, it is not for you. She refused to let them go out disguised at night to perform tawaf with the men. But when they entered the House, they would stand until the men entered and exited. I used to visit Aishah, and 'Abd ibn 'Umar, and she was residing in the interior of Thabir. I said: What was her hijab? He said: She was in a Turkish tent with a covering, and there was nothing between us and her except that. And I saw on her a red-bordered cloak.
إذ منع ابن هشام النساء الطواف مع الرجال قال : كيف يمنعهن وقد طاف نساء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مع الرجال قلت أبعد الحجاب أو قبل قال إي لعمري لقد أدركته بعد الحجاب قلت كيف يخالطن الرجال قال لم يكن يخالطن كانت عائشة رضي الله عنها تطوف حجرةً من الرجال لا تخالطهم فقالت امرأة انطلقي نستلم يا أم المؤمنين قالت انطلقي عنك وأبت يخرجن متنكرات بالليل فيطفن مع الرجال ولكنهن كن إذا دخلن البيت قمن حتى يدخلن وأخرج الرجال وكنت آتي عائشة أنا وعبيد بن عمير وهي مجاورة في جوف ثبير قلت وما حجابها قال هي في قبة تركية لها غشاء وما بيننا وبينها غير ذلك ورأيت عليها درعاً مورداًThe Shaykh : Women performing tawaf with men is permissible, and it is not possible to prevent it, especially in our times, because every woman is with her mahram.
