Al-Kafi 7712

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan^asws about a man who enters Makkah and with him are women whom he had instructed, so they performed <span class="iTxt">Tumatto</span> before the (day of) Al-Tarwiyya (8^th Zilhajj) by one day, or two days, or three. So he feared upon some of them, of the menstruation. So he^asws said: ‘When they are free from performing their <span class="iTxt">Tumatto</span>, and they are free from the <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, so let him consider the ones whom he fears the menstruation upon, so he should instruct her to wash, and begin with the Hajj from her place. Then she should perform <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span> by the House (Kabah), and by Al-Safa and Al-Marwa. So if something occurs with her, she can fulfil the remainder of the rituals while being in menstruation’. So I said, ‘Is it not so that the <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span> of the women (طَوَافُ النِّسَاءِ) would have remained (unperformed)?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So she is pledged until she is free’. He^asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So why leave it until she is free from fulfilling her rituals?’ He^asws said: ‘The remaining of one ritual upon her is easier upon her than if there remained outstanding upon her of all the rituals, being fearful of the menstruation’. I said, ‘Supposing the cameleer refuses to stay upon her, and the fellow travelers?’ He^asws said: ‘That is not for them. She should seek their support until they stay upon her, until she is pure, and she fulfils her rituals’.
