“You have now (1) ended your state of ihrām for both your Hajj and your ‘umrah.”
This indicates three things. First, she was combining Hajj and ‘umrah in a single state of ihrām. Second, someone combining them needs only one circumambulation and one performance of the walk between al-Safā and al-Marwah. Third, that (2) she was not required to make up the ‘umrah during which she began menstruating and to which she subsequently added Hajj. Her menstruation did not mean that she abandoned her ihrām for ‘umrah; rather, she abandoned performing its rites separately and limiting herself to ‘umrah alone.
‘Ā’ishah did not initially perform the arrival circumambulation. Indeed, she did not circumambulate until after standing at ‘Arafāt, and she also performed the walk between al-Safā and al-Marwah. If the main circumambulation of Hajj and the walk following it suffice for someone combining Hajj and ‘umrah, then all the more (3) must the arrival circumambulation together with the main circumambulation of Hajj suffice, with a single performance of the walk accompanying either one. However, ‘Ā’ishah was unable to perform the first circumambulation. Her case therefore provides evidence that a late-arriving pilgrim who (4) is unable to perform the first circumambulation should do as ‘Ā’ishah did: add Hajj to his ‘umrah, thereby combining the two in a single state of ihrām. The main circumambulation of Hajj and the walk immediately following it suffice for both.
