1. Book of Purification
١۔ كِتَابٌ الطَّهَارَةِ
[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "What is permissible for me to do with my wife while she is menstruating?" He replied, "Cover her with a cloth and do whatever you would normally do with her except for intercourse."
سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا يَحِلُّ لِي مِنَ امْرَأَتِي وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ؟ قَالَ «لِتَشُدَّ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارَهَا ثُمَّ شَأْنَكَ بِأَعْلَاهَا»
[Machine] "To tighten her belt around her waist and then to engage with her."
«لِتَشُدَّ إِزَارَهَا عَلَى أَسْفَلِهَا ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا»
[Machine] "The husband approaches his wife during her menstruation between her thighs. When he ejaculates, she washes off what has touched her, and he cleans himself."
«الْحَائِضُ يَأْتِيهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي مَرَاقِّهَا وَبَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهَا فَإِذَا دَفَقَ غَسَلَتْ مَا أَصَابَهَا وَاغْتَسَلَ هُوَ»
[Machine] Ibrahim said, "Indeed, the mother of Imran knows that I intended to pierce her womb while she was menstruating."
قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَقَدْ عَلِمَتْ أُمُّ عِمْرَانَ أَنِّي أَطْعَنُ فِي أَلْيَتِهَا يَعْنِي وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ
[Machine] Regarding menstruation, "so she does not see harm in anything below the blood."
عَنِ الْحَائِضِ «فَلَمْ يَرَ بِمَا دُونَ الدَّمِ بَأْسًا»
[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ commanded me, I would hasten and he would engage with me."
«كُنْتُ إِذَا حِضْتُ أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَتَّزِرُ وَكَانَ يُبَاشِرُنِي»
[Machine] Aisha was asked what is permissible for a man from his wife while she is menstruating. She said, "Anything above the waistcloth."
سُئِلَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَتْ «مَا فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ»
[Machine] I asked Aisha, "What is permissible for a man with his wife if she is menstruating?" She said, "Everything except for sexual intercourse." I then asked, "What is prohibited for him regarding her when they are both in a state of ritual impurity?" She said, "Everything except for conversation."
قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ مَا يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا؟ قَالَتْ «كُلُّ شَيْءٍ غَيْرُ الْجِمَاعِ» قَالَ قَلْتُ فَمَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا إِذَا كَانَا مُحْرِمَيْنِ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّ شَيْءٍ غَيْرُ كَلَامِهَا»
لِإِنْسَانٍ «اجْتَنِبْ شِعَارَ الدَّمِ»
«إِذَا كَفَّت الْأَذَى يَعْنِي الدَّمَ»
[Machine] "To give the menstruating woman between her thighs and in her waist."
أَنْ تُؤْتَى الْحَائِضُ بَيْنَ فَخِذَيْهَا وَفِي سُرَّتِهَا»
[Machine] "She accepts and acknowledges everything except the backwards and the menstruating."
«تُقْبِلُ وَتُدْبِرُ إِلَّا الدُّبُرَ وَالْمَحِيضَ»
"I was with the Messenger of Allah under his blanket, then I felt that I was menstruating as women do, so I slipped out from under the cover. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Are you menstruating?' I said: 'I feel that I am menstruating as women do.' He said: 'That is what Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam.' So I slipped out and sorted myself out, then I came back, and the Messenger of Allah said to me: 'Come under the cover with me,' so I went in with him.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 637)
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي لِحَافٍ فَوَجَدْتُ مَا تَجِدُ النِّسَاءُ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا لَكِ أَنَفِسْتِ؟» قُلْتُ وَجَدْتُ مَا تَجِدُ النِّسَاءُ قَالَ «ذَاكَ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ» قَالَتْ فَقُمْتُ فَأَصْلَحْتُ مِنْ شَأْنِي ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ادْخُلِي فِي اللِّحَافِ» فَدَخَلْتُ
While I was laying with the Prophet ﷺ under a single woolen sheet, I got the menses. I slipped away and put on the clothes for menses. He said, "Have you got "Nifas" (menses)?" I replied, "Yes." He then called me and made me lie with him under the same sheet. (Using translation from Bukhārī 298)
بَيْنَا أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُضْطَجِعَةٌ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ إِذْ حِضْتُ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ ثِيَابَ حِيضَتِي فَقَالَ «أَنَفِسْتِ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ «فدَعَانِي فَاضْطَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ»
[Machine] The translation of the given sentence is:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have sexual relations with his wives while they were wearing their waist wrappers during menstruation."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ»
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would tell one of us, if she was menstruating, to tie her Izar (waist wrap) tightly then he would fondle her." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 285)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْمُرُ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا أَنْ تَشُدَّ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارَهَا ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا»
[Machine] I used to wear a waist wrap while I was menstruating, then I would enter with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his blanket.
أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ «كُنْتُ أَتَّزِرُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ ثُمَّ أَدْخُلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي لِحَافِهِ»
[Machine] "Ma fawqa al-izār" translates to "above the waist."
«مَا فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ»
[Machine] "The bed is one and the blankets are diverse, so if they cannot find a response from their own blanket."
«الْفِرَاشُ وَاحِدٌ وَاللُّحُفُ شَتَّى فَإِنْ كَانُوا لَا يَجِدُونَ رَدَّ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ لِحَافِهِ»
«لَهُ مَا فَوْقَ السَّرَرِ أَوِ السُّرَّةِ»
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wrap me while I was menstruating, and a piece of cloth would come between his forehead and me."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَوَشَّحُنِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَيُصِيبُ مِنْ رَأْسِي وَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ ثَوْبٌ»
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 الْيَهُودُ كَانُوا إِذَا حَاضَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فِيهِمْ لَمْ يُؤَاكِلُوهَا وَلَمْ يُشَارِبُوهَا وَأَخْرَجُوهَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ فِي الْبُيُوتِ فَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى} [البقرة 222] «فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ يُؤَاكِلُوهُنَّ وَأَنْ يُشَارِبُوهُنَّ وَأَنْ يَكُنَّ مَعَهُمْ فِي الْبُيُوتِ وَأَنْ يَفْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا النِّكَاحَ» فَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودَ مَا يُرِيدُ هَذَا أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا إِلَّا خَالَفَنَا فِيهِ فَجَاءَ عَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ وَأُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهُ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نَنْكِحُهُنَّ فِي الْمَحِيضِ؟ فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَمَعُّرًا شَدِيدًا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ قد وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمَا فَقَامَا فَخَرَجَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْهُمَا هَدِيَّةُ لَبَنٍ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي آثَارِهِمَا فَرَدَّهُمَا فَسَقَاهُمَا فَعَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْضَبْ عَلَيْهِمَا
[Machine] About the man who has intercourse with his wife while she is menstruating on the same blanket, he said, "As for us, the family of Umar, we avoid them when they are menstruating."
عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُضَاجِعُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فِي لِحَافٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا نَحْنُ آلَ عُمَرَ فَنَهْجُرُهُنَّ إِذَا كُنَّ حُيَّضًا»
[Machine] "There is no harm in the grace and beauty of a woman as long as she is not in a state of janabah (impurity) or menstruating."
«لَا بَأْسَ بِفَضْلِ وَضُوءِ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ جُنُبًا أَوْ حَائِضًا»
[Machine] "She puts it in a place, which means on the vagina."
«تَضَعُهُ وَضْعًا يَعْنِي عَلَى الْفَرْجِ»
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 مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ الْفَخِذَيْنِ أَوِ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ مُحْتَجِزَةً بِهِ»
