Hadith 876
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، وَالْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، في التي قعدت من المحيض، "إذا رأت الدم توضأت وصلت ولا تغتسل"، سئل عبد الله عَنْ الْكَبِيرَةِ، قَالَ: "تَوَضَّأُ وَتُصَلِّي، وَإِذَا طُلِّقَتْ تَعْتَدُّ بِالْأَشْهُرِ".
It is narrated from Ata and Hakam bin Utaibah regarding an old woman whose menstruation has stopped and she experiences bleeding, that she should perform ablution and offer prayer; she does not need to perform ghusl. Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about such a woman, and he replied: She should perform ablution and offer prayer, and if she is divorced, she will observe her waiting period according to months.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 871 to 876)
If an elderly, aged woman experiences menstrual bleeding after her menstruation has ceased, should this blood be considered menstrual blood (dam al-hayd) or irregular bleeding (dam al-istihada)? In this chapter, Imam Darimi rahimahullah has mentioned the statements of Ata bin Abi Rabah and Hakam bin Utaibah, and has also expressed his own opinion that this blood should be regarded as dam al-istihada, and the rulings of menstruation (hayd) will not apply to such an elderly woman.
In Fiqh al-Sunnah, Sayyid Sabiq has stated: Whenever blood appears, even until the end of life, it will be considered menstrual blood (hayd), because there is no evidence in the hadith to indicate that she is to be regarded as mustahada (a woman experiencing irregular bleeding).
And Allah knows best.
