An Ansari woman asked the Prophet how to take a bath after finishing from the menses. He

Volume 1, Book 6, Number 313:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
In the last Hajj of Allah’s Apostle I assume the Ihram for Hajj along with Allah Apostle. I was one of
those who intended Tamattu’ (to perform Hajj an ‘Umra) and did not take the Hadi (animal for sacri –
fice) with me. I got my menses and was not clean till the night of ‘Arafa I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! It is
the night of the day of ‘Arafat and I intended to perform the Hajj Tamattu’ with ‘Umra Allah’s Apostle
told me to undo my hair and comb it and to postpone the ‘Umra. I did the same and completed the
Hajj. On the night of Al-Hasba (i.e. place outside Mecca where the pilgrims go after finishing all the
ceremonies Hajj at Mina) he (the Prophet ordered ‘Abdur Rahman (‘Aisha’s brother) to take me to At-
Tan’im to assume the lhram for’Umra in lieu of that of Hajj-atTamattu’ which I had intended to per –
form.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
On the 1st of Dhul-Hijja we set out with the intention of performing Hajj. Allah’s Apostle said,
“Any one who likes to assume the Ihram for ‘Umra he can do so. Had I not brought the Hadi with me,
I would have assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra. “Some of us assumed the Ihram for ‘Umra while the oth –
ers 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 ‘Arafat and complained of that to the Prophet . He told me
to postpone my ‘Umra, undo and comb my hair, and to assure the Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the
right of Hasba, he sent my brother ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me to At-Tah’im, where I as –
sumed the Ihram for’Umra in lieu of the previous one. Hisham said, “For that (‘Umra) no Hadi, fasting
or alms were required.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish used to have bleeding in between the periods, so she asked the Prophet
about it . He replied, “The bleeding is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So give up the prayers
when the (real) menses begin and when it has finished, take a bath and start praying.”

Volume 1, Book 6, Number 303:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish said to Allah’s Apostle, “O Allah’s Apostle! I do not become clean (from
bleeding). Shall I give up my prayers?” Allah’s Apostle replied: “No, because it is from a blood vessel
and not the menses. So when the real menses begins give up your prayers and when it (the period)
has finished wash the blood off your body (take a bath) and offer your prayers.”

Whenever anyone of us got her menses, she, on becoming clean, used to take hold of the blood
spot and rub the blood off her garment, and pour water over it and wash that portion thoroughly
and sprinkle water over the rest of the garment. After that she would pray in (with) it.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Once one of the wives of the Prophet did Itikaf along with him and she was getting bleeding in
between her periods. She used to see the blood (from her private parts) and she would perhaps put a
dish under her for the blood. (The sub-narrator ‘Ikrima added, ‘Aisha once saw the liquid of saf –
flower and said, “It looks like what so and so used to have.”)
