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.
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.
