[Machine] Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh consulted the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am experiencing istihada (irregular bleeding), so should I leave praying?" He replied, "That is a vein and not menstruation. When your regular period comes, leave praying, and when it ends, wash away the blood and perform ablution, for that is only a vein and not menstruation."
أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ اسْتَفْتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَسْتَحِيضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَ «ذَاكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَ بِحَيْضَةٍ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ وَتَوَضَّئِي فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ»
