Chapter: The age at which a woman can menstruate
Bayhaqi 15417 — The age at which a woman can menstruate
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: أَعْجَلُ مَنْ سَمِعْتُ بِهِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ يَحِضْنَ نِسَاءُ تِهَامَةَ يَحِضْنَ لِتِسْعِ سِنِينَ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Of the women I have heard about, the earliest to menstruate are the women of Tihamah, who menstruate at the age of nine."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ قَالَا: نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَحْمُودٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عُمَيْرُ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ⦗٦٩١⦘ الْمُهَلَّبِيُّ قَالَ: " أَدْرَكْتُ فِينَا يَعْنِي الْمَهَالِبَةَ امْرَأَةً صَارَتْ جَدَّةً وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ وَلَدَتْ لِتِسْعِ سِنِينَ ابْنَةً فَوَلَدَتِ ابْنَتُهَا لِتِسْعِ سِنِينَ فَصَارَتْ جَدَّةً وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ ".
It is narrated from Abbad bin Abbad al-Muhallabi that he said: Among us, that is, the Muhallabis, I came across a woman who became a grandmother at the age of eighteen. She gave birth to a daughter at the age of nine, and her daughter also gave birth at the age of nine, so she became a grandmother at the age of eighteen.
