[Machine] A woman from the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about menstruation. He said, "Take your water and your sidr (a type of tree) and then perform ghusl (ritual bath) and cleanse yourself. Then, pour water onto your head until the water reaches the roots of your hair. Then, take a piece of cotton or cloth soaked in musk and place it in your vagina." The woman asked, "How should I use it, O Messenger of Allah?" He remained silent. She asked again, "How should I use it, O Messenger of Allah?" He remained silent. Aisha said, "Take a piece of cotton or cloth soaked in musk and trace it along the traces of blood, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ can hear, and he did not object to her action."  

سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَيْضِ؟ قَالَ «خُذِي مَاءَكِ وَسِدْرَكِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي وَأَنْقِي ثُمَّ صُبِّي عَلَى رَأْسِكِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغِي شُؤُونَ الرَّأْسِ ثُمَّ خُذِي فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً» قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَسَكَتَ قَالَتْ فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ خُذِي فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً فَتَتَبَّعِي بِهَا آثَارَ الدَّمِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْمَعُ فَمَا أَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهَا
