It was narrated that Aishah said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah intending only to perform Hajj. When we were in Sarif or close to Sar if, my menses came. The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H entered upon me when I was weeping. He said: 'What is the matter with you? Have your menses come?' I said: 'Yes'. He said: 'This is some thing that Allah "-has decreed for the daughters of Adam. Do all the rites, but do not circumambulate the House.''' She said:. "And the Messenger of Allah sacrificed a cowan behalf of his wives." (Sahih)
