Sahih al-Bukhari 980

Translation

Hafsa bint Seereen said, "On Id we used to forbid our girls to go out for ʿId prayer. A lady came and stayed at the palace of Bani Khalaf and I went to her. She said, 'The husband of my sister took part in twelve holy battles along with the Prophet ﷺ and my sister was with her husband in six of them. My sister said that they used to nurse the sick and treat the wounded. Once she asked, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! If a woman has no veil, is there any harm if she does not come out (on ʿId day)?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Her companion should let her share her veil with her, and the women should participate in the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers.' " Hafsa added, "When Um-ʿAtiya came, I went to her and asked her, 'Did you hear anything about so-and-so?' Um-ʿAtiya said, 'Yes, let my father be sacrificed for the Prophet ﷺ. (And whenever she mentioned the name of the Prophet ﷺ she always used to say, 'Let my father be' sacrificed for him). He said, 'Virgin mature girls staying often screened (or said, 'Mature girls and virgins staying often screened--Aiyub is not sure as which was right) and menstruating women should come out (on the ʿId day). But the menstruating women should keep away from the Musalla. And all the women should participate in the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers'." Hafsa said, "On that I said to Um-ʿAtiya, 'Also those who are menstruating?' " Um-ʿAtiya replied, "Yes. Do they not present themselves at ʿArafat and elsewhere?".
