Masjid Aisha

Masjid Aisha, also known as Masjid at-Tan’eem marks the place where Ummul-Mu’mineen Aisha (r.a.) went to enter into Ihram for Umrah when the Prophet (s.a.w.) told her to do so during the farewell Hajj. The masjid lies 7.5 km south from Makkah on the road to Madinah and is the closest of all the boundary points.

- Jaabir (r.a.) reports that because Aisha (r.a.) was experiencing menstrual cycle the Prophet (s.a.w.) intstructed her to perform all the various rites of Hajj except for the Tawaaf. She then performed the Tawaaf after her cycle had ended. She then said, “O Rasulullah (s.a.w.)! While you have performed Hajj and Umrah, I have performed only Hajj.” The Prophet (s.a.w.) then instructed her brother Abdur-Rahman (r.a.) to take her to Tan’eem and it was from there that she performed her Umrah after her Hajj during the month of Dhul Hijjah.
