2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from certain persons of his people from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman who has said the following: “This is about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘They must fulfill their vows and perform Tawaf around the free House.’ (22:29) Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘It is Tawaf of al-Nisa’.’”

3. A number of our people have narrated from and from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, did not grant a favor to people with Tawaf al-Nisa’ a man would return to his family and his wife becomes unlawful for him.’”

4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan , about the castrated people and old women if Tawaf al- Nisa’ is obligatory upon them. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is obligatory on all of them.’”

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who forgets to perform Tawaf al-Nisa’ until he goes in unto his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘Women are not lawful until he visits the House.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He must instruct someone to perform its Qada’ (compensatory tawaf) on his behalf. If he did not perform al-Hajj and has died before Tawaf al-Nisa’ is performed for him, then his guardian or someone else must perform it for him.’”

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ibn Muskan from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a woman for al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous) who performs Tawaf around the House, performs Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah for al-Hajj; then returns to Mina’ before performing Tawaf around the House. He (the Imam) said, ‘Is it not a fact that she must visit the House?’ I replied, ‘Yes, it is true.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘She then must perform Tawaf.’”

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim , about a man who performs Tawaf of al-Hajj and Tawaf of al-Nisa’ before Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. He must perform Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah and his Hajj is complete.’”
