Ibn Juraij said, " ʿAta informed us that when Ibn Hisham forbade women to perform Tawaf with men he said to him, 'How do you forbid them while the wives of the Prophet ﷺ used to perform Tawaf with the men?' I said, 'Was this before decreeing of the use of the veil or after it? ʿAta took an oath and said, 'I saw it after the order of veil.' I said, 'How did they mix with the men?' ʿAta said, 'The women never mixed with the men, and ʿA'ishah used to perform Tawaf separately and never mixed with men. Once it happened that ʿA'ishah was performing the Tawaf and woman said to her, 'O Mother of believers! Let us touch the Black stone.' ʿA'ishah said to her, 'Go yourself,' and she herself refused to do so. The wives of the Prophet ﷺ used to come out in night, in disguise and used to perform Tawaf with men. But whenever they intended to enter the Kaʿbah, they would stay outside till the men had gone out. I and ʿUbaid bin ʿUmair used to visit ʿA'ishah while she was residing at Jauf Thabir." I asked, "What was her veil?" ʿAta said, "She was wearing an old Turkish veil, and that was the only thing (veil) which was screen between us and her. I saw a pink cover on her."
