and circumambulated. For this reason, Mālik and others required the man from whom she had hired her mount to remain with her until she became pure and circumambulated.

His followers, however, said:
“He is not obliged in these times to remain with her, because of the harm this would cause him.”

It is thus clear that the imams’ rulings that purity from menstruation is a condition or an obligation concerned a woman who was able to circumambulate in a state of purity, not one who was unable to do so—unless, of course, some of them held that it was a condition or an obligation in both circumstances. In that case, the disagreement is with whoever held that view.

And Allah Most High knows best. May Allah bless Muhammad.
