[Machine] "It has always been the case that she menstruates for one day and does not exceed it, and it has been confirmed to me about women that they have always menstruated for less than three days, and about women that they have always menstruated for fifteen days, and about a woman that she has always menstruated for thirteen days. How did I claim that what we know to be true is not true? The Sheikh said that it has been narrated to us from Ali and Shuraikh that they permitted three menstrual cycles in a month and five nights. This is mentioned in the book of Al-Adad, God willing. Al-Shafi'i said, and we say, based on what has been narrated from Ali, because it is in line with what has been narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that there is no fixed time for menstruation, and he relied on the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ that when the menstrual blood comes, leave the prayer, and when its duration is over, wash the blood off and pray."
