Ibn ‘Abbas said :  She should take a bath and offer Salat (prayers) even if (she were clean) for an hour and she can have (sextual relation with her husband) after the prayer and As-Salat (the prayer) is more superior and important (than anything else).

331.    Narrated ‘Aishah :  The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to me, “Give up As-Salat (the prayer) when your menses begin and when it has finished, wash the blood off your body (take a bath) and start offering Salat.”

Can we believe a woman if she says she is menstruating or pregnant, and whatever is related to menses as is referred to by the Statement of Allah:  “…And it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs…” (Quran 2 : 228). ‘Ali and Shuraih said, “If a woman presents witness from her relatives who are good Muslims that she is getting menses thrice a month then she is to be believed.”  ‘Ata said, “Her previous menstrual cycles are to be taken into consideration.” The same was said by Ibrahim. ‘Ata said, “Menses can last from one to fifteen days.” Ibn Sirin was asked about a woman who noticed blood five days after her menstrual cycle. He replied:  The women knew better about that.

325.    Narrated Aishah: Fatima bint Abi Hubaish asked the Prophet, peace be upon him, “I got persistent bleeding (in between the periods) and do not become clean.  Shall I give up Salat (prayers)?”  He replied, “No, it is from a blood vessel.  Give up the Salat only for the days on which you usually get the menses and then take a bath and offer your prayers.”

322.   Narrated Zainab bint ‘Abi Salama :  Umm Salama said, “I got my menses while I was lying with the Prophet, peace be upon him, under a woolen sheet.  So I slipped away, took the clothes for menses and put them on. Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, said, ‘Have you got your menses?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’  Then he called me and took me with him under the woolen sheet.”

Umm Salama further said, “The Prophet, peace be upon him, used to kiss me while he was observing Saum (fasting).  The Prophet, peace be upon him, and I used to take the bath of Janaba from a single pot.”

And the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “The lady (in her menses) must leave her Salat (prayers).”

321.   Narrated Mu’adha :  A woman asked ‘Aisha, “Should I offer the Salat (prayers) that which I did not offer because of menses.” ‘Aishah said, “Are you from the Haraura’ (a town in Iraq).  We were with the Prophet, peace be upon him, and used to get our periods but he never ordered us to offer them (the Salat missed during menses),” or ‘Aishah said we did not offer them.”

Some women used to send the pads of cotton with traces of yellowish discharge to ‘Aishah (for her verdict to know wheather they had become clean from menses or not). And ‘Aishah would say, “Do not hurry till you see the cotton pad is white (meaning the perfect disappearence of menses).” The daughter of Zaid bin Thabit was told that some woman used to ask for candles at midnight to see whether the menses had stopped or not. On that the daughter of Zaid said that the ladies (the wives of the Prophet companions) had never done so, and she blamed them (the former women).

320. Narrated ‘Aishah : Fatima bint Abi Hubaish used to have bleeding in between the periods, so he asked the Prophet , peace be upon him, about it. He replied, “The bleeding is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So give up As-Salat (the prayers) when the (real) menses begin and when it has finished, take a bath and start offering prayers.”

318. Narrated Anas bin Malik :  The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “At every womb Allah appoints an angel who says, O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh.’

Then if Allah wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks,(O Lord!) : (A) Will it be a male or female, (B) a wretched or a blessed, (C) and how much will his provision be? (D) And what will his age be?’ So all that [A,B,C,D] is written while the child is still in the mother’s womb.”

316. Narrated ‘Aishah :  In the last Hajj of Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, I assumed the Ihram for Hajj along with Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him.  I was one of those who intended Tamattu’ (to perform Hajj and ‘Umra together, with a break in between) and did not take the Hady (animal for sacrifice) with me.  I got my menses and was not clean till the night of ‘Arafa. I said, “O Allah’s Messenger! It is the night of the Day of ‘Arafa and I intended to perform the Hajj Tamattu’ with ‘Umra.” Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, told me to undo my head-hair and comb it and to postpone the ‘Umra.   I did the same and completed the Hajj. On the night of Hasba (i.e. a place outside Makkah where the pilgrims go after finishing all the ceremonies of Hajj at Mina ) he (the Prophet, peace be upon him) ordered ‘Abdur Rahman (Aishah’s brother) to take me to At-Tanim to assume the Ihram for ‘Umra in lieu of that of Hajj-at-Tamattu’ which I had intended to perform.

317. Narrated ‘Aishah:  On the 1st of Dhul-Hijja we set out with the intention of performing Hajj.  Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him, said,”Anyone who likes to assume the Ihram for ‘Umra, he can do so.  Had I not brought the Hady with me, I would have assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra”. Some of us assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra while the others assumed the Ihram for Hajj.  I was one of those who assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra. I got menses and kept on menstruating until the Day of ‘Arafa and complained of that to the Prophet, peace be upon him.  He told me to postpone my ‘Umra, undo and comb my head-hair, and to assume the Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the night of Hasba, he sent my brother ‘Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me to At-Tan’im, where I assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra in lieu of the previous one.

Hashim said, “For that (‘Umra) no Hady, fasting or alms were required.”
