Among the jews, when a women menstruated, they ejected her from the house, and they did not eat with her, nor did they drink with her, nor did they associate with her in (their houses) so the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was questioned about that. Thereupon Allah revealed : “They question thee concerning menstruation. Say : I: is an illness, so let woman alone at such times” (ii 222). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then said: Associate with them in the houses and do everything except sexual intercourse. Thereupon the Jews said: This man does not want to leave anything we do without opposing us in it. Usaid b. Hudair and Abbad b. Bishr came and said: Messenger of Allah, the jews are saying such and such a thing. Shall we not then have intercourse with women during mensuration? The face of the Apostle Allah ﷺ underwent such a change that we thought he was angry with them; but when they went out they received a gift of milk which was being brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he sent after them and gave them a drink, whereupon we thought that he was not angry with them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 258)   

أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانَتْ إِذَا حَاضَتْ مِنْهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ أَخْرَجُوهَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَلَمْ يُؤَاكِلُوهَا وَلَمْ يُشَارِبُوهَا وَلَمْ يُجَامِعُوهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ} [البقرة 222] قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَامِعُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ وَاصْنَعُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ غَيْرَ النِّكَاحِ فَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ مَا يُرِيدُ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا إِلَّا خَالَفَنَا فِيهِ فَجَاءَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَفَلَا نَنْكِحُهُنَّ فِي الْمَحِيضِ؟ فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ قَدْ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمَا فَخَرَجَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْهُمَا هَدِيَّةٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ فِي أَثَرِهِمَا فَسَقَاهُمَا فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ عَلَيْهِمَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيِّ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُؤَاكِلُوهُنَّ وَأَنْ يُشَارِبُوهُنَّ وَأَنْ يُجَامِعُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ وَيَفْعَلُوا مَا شَاءُوا إِلَّا الْجِمَاعَ وَذَكَرَ الْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ  

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)   

عَنْ نُدْبَةَ مَوْلَاةِ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ الْفَخِذَيْنِ أَوِ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ مُحْتَجِزَةً بِهِ  

[Machine] "Nudba, the companion of Maymuna, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , informed him that Maymuna had sent her to Abdullah ibn Abbas with a letter. She entered and found his bed separated from his wife's bed. She then returned to Maymuna and delivered her message. Maymuna told her, 'Go back to his wife and ask her about it.' She returned to her and asked her about it. She informed her that whenever she had her period, Abdullah would separate his bed from her. Maymuna became angry and said, 'Are you deviating from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? By Allah, if a woman were to have her period, her husband would cover her with a cloth until her thighs were covered, then he would engage in intimacy with her.'"  

أَنَّ نُدْبَةَ مَوْلَاةَ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا أَرْسَلَتْهَا مَيْمُونَةُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي رِسَالَةٍ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا فِرَاشُهُ مَعْزُولٌ عَنْ فِرَاشِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَيْمُونَةَ فَبَلَّغَتْهَا رِسَالَتَهَا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ لَهَا مَيْمُونَةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَسَلِيهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَسَأَلَتْهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّهَا إِذَا طَمِثَتْ عَزَلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ فِرَاشَهُ عَنْهَا فَأَرْسَلَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَتَغَيَّظَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَتْ أَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَاللهِ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ لَتَأْتَزِرُ بِالثَّوْبِ مَا يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ فَخِذَيْهَا ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا بِسَائِرِ جَسَدِهَا  

Khallas al-Hujari reported: Aisha said: I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pass night in one (piece of) cloth (on me) while I menstruated profusely. If anything from me (i.e. blood) smeared him (i.e. his body), he would wash that spot and would not exceed it (in washing), then he would offer prayer with it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 269)   

سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَبِيتُ فِي الشِّعَارِ الْوَاحِدِ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ طَامِثٌ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ مِنِّي شَيْءٌ غَسَلَ مَكَانَهُ وَلَمْ يَعْدُهُ وَصَلَّى فِيهِ  

[Machine] I inform you about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did. He entered and went to his mosque. Abu Dawud said, "meaning, the mosque of his house." He did not leave until my eyes drooped and the cold made his head ache. He said, "come closer to me." She said, "so I said, 'Indeed, I am menstruating.'" He said, "even if you uncover your thighs." So I uncovered my thighs and he placed his cheek and chest on my thighs. I leaned over him until he became warm and fell asleep.  

أُخْبِرُكِ بِمَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ فَمَضَى إِلَى مَسْجِدِهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ تَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ بَيْتِهِ فَلَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ حَتَّى غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي وَأَوْجَعَهُ الْبَرْدُ فَقَالَ ادْنِي مِنِّي قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي حَائِضٌ قَالَ وَإِنْ اكْشِفِي عَنْ فَخِذَيْكِ فَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ فَخِذِيَّ فَوَضَعَ خَدَّهُ وَصَدْرَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِيَّ وَحَنَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى دَفِيءَ وَنَامَ  

[Machine] Some of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ said that when the Prophet ﷺ wanted something from his wife who was menstruating, he would command her to place a cloth on her private part, then he would proceed with what he desired. Abu Bakr said, "All of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ are trustworthy."  

عَنْ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ مِنَ الْحَائِضِ شَيْئًا أَمَرَهَا فَأَلْقَتْ عَلَى فَرْجِهَا ثَوْبًا ثُمَّ صَنَعَ مَا أَرَادَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ وَكُلُّ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثِقَاتٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to have sexual intercourse with me while I was menstruating. He would order me to wrap myself in a cloth and he would then have sexual intercourse with me.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُنِي فِي شِعَارٍ وَاحِدٍ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ أَمْلَكَكُمْ لِإِرْبِهِ أَوْ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ كَذَا  

[Machine] I was getting my period and entering with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ under his cloak, and the narrations that have passed in this matter are more authentic and clearer, and it is possible that what is meant by what is deemed valid by these narrations is what is clarified in those narrations, and Allah knows best.  

كُنْتُ أَتَّزِرُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَأَدْخَلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي لِحَافِهِ وَالْأَحَادِيثُ الَّتِي مَضَتْ فِي الْبَابِ قَبْلَ هَذَا أَصَحُّ وَأَبَيْنُ وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمُرَادُ بِمَا عَسَى أَنْ يَصِحَّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ مَا هُوَ مُبَيَّنٌ فِي تِلْكَ الْأَحَادِيثِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] "A man asked Aisha, the mother of the believers, what is forbidden for me from my wife while I am fasting? She said, her private parts. He then asked, what is forbidden for me from my wife when she is menstruating? She said, her private parts."  

عِقَالٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيَّ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ؟ قَالَتْ فَرْجُهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيَّ مِنَ امْرَأَتِي إِذَا حَاضَتْ؟ قَالَتْ فَرْجُهَا  

[Machine] Beware of the menstruating woman, similar to the size of a sandal.  

اتَّقِ مِنَ الْحَائِضِ مِثْلَ مَوْضِعِ النَّعْلِ
