How is the report from 'A'ishah reconciled, in which she said, "By my life, Allah does not complete the Hajj or the Sa'y of one who does not circumambulate the House? Is this an oath on her part?

The questioner : It was reported in a narration from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said, "By my life, Allah does not complete the Hajj or the Sa'y of one who does not circumambulate the House... So what is the solution to this issue?

The Shaykh : The waw is a conjunction, not an oath.

The questioner : An issue was raised to me regarding the hadith of 'A'ishah, narrated by Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, where 'A'ishah is his maternal aunt, and Ibn 'Umar is... 'A'ishah?

The Shaykh : His sister in Islam, Ibn 'Umar.
