Jami at-TirmidhiHadith Number 130
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، سَأَلَتْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ أَتَقْضِي إِحْدَانَا صَلاَتَهَا أَيَّامَ مَحِيضِهَا فَقَالَتْ أَحَرُورِيَّةٌ أَنْتِ قَدْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا تَحِيضُ فَلاَ تُؤْمَرُ بِقَضَاءٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ أَنَّ الْحَائِضَ لاَ تَقْضِي الصَّلاَةَ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عَامَّةِ الْفُقَهَاءِ لاَ اخْتِلاَفَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي أَنَّ الْحَائِضَ تَقْضِي الصَّوْمَ وَلاَ تَقْضِي الصَّلاَةَ .
Mu'adha Narrated from:
A Woman Asked Aishah: "Shouldn'T One Of Us Make Up Her Prayers The Days Of Her Menstruation?" So She Said, "Are You One Of The Haruriyyah? Indeed We Would Menstruate, And We Were Not Ordered To Make Up."
[1] The Harūriyyah are a sect of the Khawārij , named after Harūrā', a village near Al-Kūfah in Al-'Irāq. A sect of those Khawārij regarded it compulsory for menstruating women to make up the Ṣalāh missed during menses.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 130In-book reference : Book 1, Hadith 130English translation : Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 130
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 130
This Hadith answers a common question about menstruation and missed prayers. A woman asked Aishah whether a woman should make up the prayers missed during the days of menstruation. Aishah responded strongly by asking whether she was one of the Haruriyyah, then explained the practice she knew: women would menstruate, and they were not ordered to make up the prayers. The narration is short, but its point is clear. It does not describe a personal excuse or a private habit. It reports that the women in that time were not commanded to make up those prayers after menstruation ended. That keeps the matter clear.
What we learn from this hadith
- Aishah answered the question by referring to known practice.
- Menstruating women were not ordered to make up missed prayers in this report.
- Religious questions should be answered from transmitted guidance, not pressure.
