Bahiyyah said: I heard a woman asking Aisha about the woman whose menses became abnormal and she had an issue of blood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me to advise her that she should consider the period during which she used to menstruate every month, when her menstruation was normal. Then she should count the days equal to the length of time (of her normal menses); then she should abandon prayer during those days or equal to that period. She should then take a bath, tie a cloth on her private parts a pray. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 284)   

عَائِشَةُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ فَسَدَ حَيْضُهَا وَأُهْرِيقَتْ دَمًا فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ آمُرَهَا فَلْتَنْظُرْ قَدْرَ مَا كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَحَيْضُهَا مُسْتَقِيمٌ وَقَالَ فَلْتَقْعُدْ بِقَدْرِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ ثُمَّ لِتَدَعِ الصَّلَاةَ فِيهِنَّ وَبِقَدْرِهِنَّ ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلْ ثُمَّ تَسْتَثْفِرْ بِثَوْبٍ ثُمَّ لِتُصَلِّ  

[Machine] Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh asked the Prophet ﷺ for advice regarding her menstruation. She asked if she should stop praying while she is menstruating. He responded that menstruation is a type of bleeding, not impurity, so she should refrain from praying when her menstruation begins and resume praying once it ends. However, she should wash off any blood stains, perform ablution, and then pray. This is the meaning of the narration from Abu Rabi' and in another narration from Khalaf, it is mentioned that Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he advised her to wash off the blood, perform ablution, and pray, without mentioning anything else.  

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ اسْتَفْتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ أَثَرَ الدَّمِ وَتَوَضَّئِي وَصَلِّي فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ خَلَفٍ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَتَوَضَّئِي وَصَلِّي وَالْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I am experiencing menstruation, so I do not purify myself from impurity related to it. He (the Prophet) said, 'Cleanse yourself when you are pure, and perform ablution for every prayer.' Abu Bakr narrated, and Ibrahim ibn Muhammad Ash-Shafi'i narrated from Dawud Al-Atar, who narrated from Muhammad ibn 'Ajlan, who narrated from Hisham ibn 'Urwah. Al-Hasan ibn Ziyad also narrated from Abu Hanifa, who narrated from Hisham ibn 'Urwah regarding this Hadith and said, 'Perform ablution for every prayer.' The Sheikh said, and the authentic narration is that this statement is from the speech of Urwah ibn Az-Zubair."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَاغْتَسِلِي عِنْدَ طُهْرِكِ وَتَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَرَوَى إِبْرَاهِيَمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّافِعِيُّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ وَرَوَى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ وَتَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَالصَّحِيحُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ  

Fatima bint Abi Hubaish came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ I get persistent bleeding from the uterus and do not become clean. Shall I give up my prayers?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No, because it is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So when your real menses begins give up your prayers and when it has finished wash off the blood (take a bath) and offer your prayers." Hisham (the sub narrator) narrated that his father had also said, (the Prophet ﷺ told her): "Perform ablution for every prayer till the time of the next period comes." (Using translation from Bukhārī 228)   

جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ فَقَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَ بِالْحَيْضِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ حَيْضَتُكِ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ ثُمَّ صَلِّي قَالَ قَالَ أَبِي ثُمَّ تَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتُ  

[Machine] Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who gets menstruation. Should I abandon the prayer?" He said, "No, that is only a vein and it is not menstruation. Abstain from prayer during the days of your menstruation, then wash and perform ablution for every prayer. If blood drops onto the mat, it is the narration of Abu Bakr ibn al-Harith."  

جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ اجْتَنِبِي الصَّلَاةَ أَيَّامَ مَحِيضِكِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي وَتَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَإِنْ قَطَرَ الدَّمُ عَلَى الْحَصِيرِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَهَكَذَا  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ : "In the state of menses, a woman should leave the prayer for the number of days she normally menstruates. Then, she should perform one purification (ghusl) and then make ablution (wudhu) for the same number of days she normally menstruates. If she sees any yellow discharge, she should perform purification and make ablution, and then pray." 1627 Al-Abbas bin Muhammad reported to us, from Yazid bin Harun, from Abu Al-Ala, from Ibn Shubrumah, from the woman of Masruq, from Aisha, from the Prophet ﷺ with a similar narration. 1628 Abu Ali Al-Rawdhbari reported to us, from Abu Bakr bin Dasa, from Abu Dawud, from Ahmad bin Sinan Al-Qattan, from Yazid, with both chains of narrations except that he gave precedence to the statement of Aisha. Abu Dawud said: The hadith of Ayub, Abu Al-Ala's father, is weak and not authentic. May Allah the Almighty have mercy on the Sheikh. It is also narrated from Abu Yusuf, as a marfu hadith (elevated chain of narration).  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فِي الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ تَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِهَا ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ تَتَوَضَّأُ إِلَى مِثْلِ أَيَّامِ أَقْرَائِهَا فَإِنْ رَأَتْ صُفْرَةً انْتَضَحَتْ وَتَوَضَّأَتْ وَصَلَّتْ 1627 قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أنا أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ عَنِ ابْنِ شُبْرُمَةَ عَنِ امْرَأَةِ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ 1628 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْقَطَّانُ ثنا يَزِيدُ فَذَكَرَهُمَا بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ جَعَلَ الْأَوَّلَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَحَدِيثُ أَيُّوبَ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ ضَعِيفٌ لَا يَصِحُّ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفَ مَرْفُوعًا  

[Machine] Fatimah came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman experiencing menstruation." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, that is a matter of blood. So, count the days of your menstrual cycle, and when you reach the end, perform ghusl (ritual bath), seek forgiveness, and then make wudu' (ablution) for every prayer." It was narrated to us by Abu Bakr bin al-Harith, who narrated from Ali bin Umar al-Hafiz, who narrated from Muhammad bin Sulaiman bin Muhammad al-Bahili, who narrated from Abdullah bin Abdul Samad bin Abi Khidash, who mentioned it in a similar manner. Ali said that Ammar bin Matar mentioned it alone, and he is weak in narration, according to Abu Yusuf. And that which is commonly known among people is narrated from Ismail, with this chain of narration, as being Marfu' (elevated to the Prophet). A woman experiencing menstruation leaves off praying during the days of her menstrual cycle, then she performs ghusl, and makes wudu' for every prayer.  

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ فَانْظُرِي أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِكِ فَإِذَا جَاوَزْتِ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَاسْتَدْفِرِي ثُمَّ تَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ 1630 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ أَبِي خِدَاشٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَمَّارُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفَ وَالَّذِي عِنْدَ النَّاسِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مَوْقُوفًا الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ تَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِهَا وَتَغْتَسِلُ وَتَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ  

[Machine] She said about the woman experiencing menstruation, she should leave the prayer during her period, and then she should perform ghusl (ritual purification), seek forgiveness, and perform wudu (ablution) before each prayer. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us, reporting from Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq, reporting from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ya'qub, reporting from Mu'awiya ibn Amr, reporting from Za'idah, who reported from 'Amir, who mentioned it. He continued, saying, "And she should perform wudu for every prayer." This narration was reported by Abd al-Malik ibn Maisarah, and it was also mentioned by Mu'ghirah, Firas, and Mujalid, from Ash-Sha'bi, from Qamirah, from Aisha, that she would perform wudu for every prayer. Another narration was reported by Dawud ibn Abi Hind and Asim, from Ash-Sha'bi, from Qamirah, from Aisha, that she would perform ghusl once every day. The same is mentioned in the narration of Uthman ibn Sa'd al-Katib, from Ibn Abi Mulayka, in the story of Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh, from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. And Uthman ibn Sa'd is not strong in narration. It was narrated by Al-Hajjaj ibn Artat, from Ibn Abi Mulayka, and he is also not strong in narration.  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ فِي الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ تَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ أَيَّامَ حَيْضَتِهَا وَتَغْتَسِلُ وَتَسْتَذْفِرُ وَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ 1632 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا زَائِدَةُ ثنا بَيَانٌ عَنْ عَامِرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ وَقَالَ ثُمَّ تَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ هَكَذَا رِوَايَةُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ وَبَيَانٍ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ وَفِرَاسٍ وَمُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ قَمِيرَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ تَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَرِوَايَةُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدَ وَعَاصِمٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ قَمِيرَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ تَغْتَسِلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّةً وَكَذَلِكَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْكَاتِبِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ فِي قِصَّةِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَرُوِيَ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "When a woman experiences Istihadah (continuous or abnormal bleeding outside of menstruation), she should leave praying during the days of her menstruation, she should take a bath and perform ablution for every prayer, she should fast, and she should pray."

And Abu Nasr informed us, from Abu Amr, from Ibrahim, from Yahya, who said: "I read to Shurayk from Abu Al-Yaqdhan, from Adi bin Thabit, from his father, from Ali, who said the same. And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafidh informed us, from Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad bin Ya'qub, who said: 'I heard Al-Abbas bin Muhammad Al-Dawri say that he heard Yahya bin Ma'een say: 'Adi bin Thabit, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet, ﷺ , who said: "His grandfather's name was Dinar." Abu Al-Fadl repeated it to me from Yahya and he said: 'That is how his name is, Dinar.' And Abu Ali Al-Rudhbari informed us, I am Abu Bakr bin Dasa, who said: Abu Dawood Al-Sajistani said: 'The Hadith of Adi bin Thabit is weak and not authentic.' And Abu Al-Yaqdhan narrated it from Adi bin Thabit, from his father, from Ali."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ تَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ أَيَّامَ حَيْضَتِهَا وَتَغْتَسِلُ وَتَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَتَصُومُ وَتُصَلِّي 1634 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرٍو ثنا إِبْرَاهِيَمُ ثنا يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى شَرِيكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْيَقْظَانِ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مِثْلَهُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَجَدُّهُ اسْمُهُ دِينَارٌ قَالَ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ فَرَدَدْتُهُ أَنَا عَلَى يَحْيَى فَقَالَ هُوَ هَكَذَا اسْمُهُ دِينَارٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ حَدِيثُ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ هَذَا ضَعِيفٌ لَا يَصِحُّ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو الْيَقْظَانِ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ commanded women experiencing istihaadah (non-menstrual bleeding) to perform ablution for every prayer. Abu Yusuf narrated from Abdullah ibn Ali, Abu Ayub al-Afriqi, and Abu Yusuf was trustworthy when he would narrate from trustworthy narrators. And in what Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz allowed me to narrate from him, from Abu al-Abbas, from al-Rabi, from al-Shafi'i, that it was said to him, "Did we not hear that the Prophet ﷺ commanded women experiencing istihaadah to perform ablution for every prayer?" Al-Shafi'i said, "Yes, you have indeed narrated that. And based on this, we say by way of analogy, according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in ablution, regarding what is emitted from the rectum, or the penis, or the vagina." He said, "And if this were preserved with us, it would be dearer to us than analogy."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةَ أَنْ تَتَوَضَّأَ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَبُو يُوسُفَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَفْرِيقِيِّ وَأَبُو يُوسُفَ ثِقَةٌ إِذَا كَانَ يَرْوِي عَنْ ثِقَةٍ وَفِيمَا أَجَازَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ رِوَايَتُهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنِ الشَّافِعِيِّ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ أَمَا إِنَّا رُوِّينَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةَ تَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَدْ رَوَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ وَبِهِ نَقُولُ قِيَاسًا عَلَى سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْوُضُوءِ مِمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ دُبُرٍ أَوْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ فَرْجٍ قَالَ وَلَوْ كَانَ هَذَا مَحْفُوظًا عِنْدَنَا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْنَا مِنَ الْقِيَاسِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came out of the bathroom and they brought food close to him. They offered him ablution, but he said, "I was only commanded to perform ablution when I stand up for prayer." Abu Bakr informed the Prophet ﷺ that Allah the Almighty commanded him to perform ablution when he stands up for prayer, regardless of whether it is the time to enter or exit.  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ فَعَرَضُوا عَلَيْهِ الْوَضُوءَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ بِالْوُضُوءِ إِذَا قُمْتُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَهُ بِالْوُضُوءِ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ لَا دُخُولَ وَقْتٍ أَوْ خُرُوجَهُ
