If a woman fears menstruation, does she make a condition?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. You mentioned that if a woman fears menstruation, she makes a condition. Do you not see, may Allah reward you, that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), even though she expected menstruation because it is the custom of women to know when their period is near, did not make a condition, even though she was in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? What is your view, may Allah reward you, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon Dhabibah bint al-Zubayr before the Hajj?
The Shaykh : First of all: how do you know, or how do we know, that Aisha knew that menstruation would come to her before she completed the 'Umrah? Because she was performing 'Umrah, so perhaps her period came earlier than her usual time, and this is what happened. And this is perhaps supported by the fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon her while she was crying, as if she was unable to menstruate until she had completed the 'Umrah.
