not be able to perform the ,Hajj). He said, “What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?” I
replied, “Yes.” He said, “This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform

Narrated Al-Bara’:
I heard the Prophet delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of ‘Id-Allah. a), “The first thing
we will do on this day of ours is that we will offer the ‘Id prayer, then we will return and slaughter
our sacrifices; and whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition, and whoever

said, “Slaughter it to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient for anybody else after you.”

One day Allah’s Apostle offered the ‘Id prayer and said, “Whoever offers our prayer and faces our

and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have already done it. The Prophet said, “That is something you have
