Hadith 305
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةِ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ ، " فَأَمَرَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تَنْتَظِرَ أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِهَا ، ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ وَتُصَلِّي ، فَإِنْ رَأَتْ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ تَوَضَّأَتْ وَصَلَّتْ " .
Narrated Umm Habibah daughter of Jahsh: Ikrimah said: Umm Habibah daughter of Jahsh had a prolonged flow of blood. The Prophet ﷺ commanded her to refrain (from prayer) during her menstrual period; then she should wash and pray, if she sees anything (which renders ablution void) she should perform ablution and pray.
Brief Explanation
1؎: By this is meant the state of minor ritual impurity (hadath), not the blood that exits from a woman experiencing istihaadah, because ablution (wudu) is not obligatory due to the blood of istihaadah, as this blood does not cease but continues to flow constantly. And if blood were to be intended by this, then the conditional clause would have no meaning, because a woman experiencing istihaadah constantly sees blood—it does not stop for her. With this clarification, this hadith can be understood in accordance with the chapter.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
305. Commentary:
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission. Therefore, the preferred opinion is that a woman experiencing istihaadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) should perform ablution (wudu) for every prayer, even if her previous ablution is still valid.
