أحمد:٢٦٨٥٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ نُدْبَةَ مَوْلَاةِ مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ حَائِضًا تَكُونُ عَلَيْهَا الْخِرْقَةُ إِلَى الرُّكْبَةِ أَوْ إِلَى أَنْصَافِ الْفَخِذِ

[Machine] From the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is reported that "the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would have sexual intercourse with his wives while they were menstruating, and they would have a cloth tied around their knees or halfway up their thighs." This is mentioned by Ibn Jurayj from Ibn Shihab from Habib, the freed slave of Urwah, from Nudbah.

The Prophet ﷺ would contact and embrace any of his wives while she was menstruating. She would wear the wrapper up to half the the thighs or cover her knees with it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 267)

[Machine] "Narrated by Maymuna, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have intimate relations with his wives while they were menstruating, as long as they were wearing a waist-wrapper that covered halfway down the thighs or the knees.'"

عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ الْفَخِذَيْنِ أَوِ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ»
