Bayhaqi 1664 — The ghusl of the woman with istihadah

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ فَقَالَ: " تَقْعُدُ أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِهَا ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ طُهْرٍ ثُمَّ تَحْتَشِي ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي " قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فِيهِ نَظَرٌ وَلَا يُعْرَفُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لِابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَلَا لِأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ غَيْرِ هَذَا وَبِمِثْلِهِ لَا تَقُومُ حُجَّةٌ وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهَا تَغْتَسِلُ لِكُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَمَّا اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ طُهْرٍ إِلَى طُهْرٍ وَفِي إِحْدَى الرِّوَايَاتِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ كَذَلِكَ، وَفِي الرِّوَايَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ غُسْلًا، وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَائِشَةَ الْوُضُوءُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَفِيمَا أَجَازَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ رِوَايَتَهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنِ الشَّافِعِيِّ قَالَ: وَفِي حَدِيثِ حَمْنَةُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهَا: " إِنْ قَوِيتِ فَاجْمَعِي بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِغُسْلٍ وَبَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِغُسْلٍ وَصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ بِغُسْلٍ " وَأَعْلَمَهَا أَنَّهُ أَحَبُّ الْأَمْرَيْنِ إِلَيْهِ لَهَا وَأَنَّهُ يُجْزِئُهَا الْأَمْرُ الْأَوَّلُ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ عِنْدَ الطُّهْرِ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْهَا بِغُسْلٍ بَعْدَهُ قَالَ: وَإِنْ رُوِيَ فِي الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ حَدِيثٌ مُعَلَّقٌ فَحَدِيثُ حَمْنَةَ بَيَّنَ أَنَّهُ اخْتِيَارٌ وَأَنَّ غَيْرَهُ يُجْزِئُ مِنْهُ.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the woman with istihadah (irregular bleeding). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She should refrain (from prayer) during the days of her menstruation, then perform a ritual bath (ghusl) at every purification, pack herself with cotton, and pray."
(b) Abu Bakr bin Ishaq says: Ja'far bin Sulayman is open to question (fihi nazar); this hadith is not known from Ibn Jurayj or Abu al-Zubayr by any route other than this one, and narrations like it do not establish proof; and there is disagreement (among the narrators) about it.
(c) The Shaykh says: It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that she should perform ghusl every day; in another narration, that she should perform ghusl for every prayer. It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that she should (perform ghusl) at the time of every prayer.
(d) In one narration it is that when performing ghusl became difficult for her, he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to combine two prayers.
(e) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that she should perform ghusl from one purity to the next; one narration of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) is likewise, and in another narration it is that she should perform ghusl every day.
(f) In another narration, which is from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), it is that she should perform ablution for every prayer.
(g) It is reported from Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) that in the hadith of Sayyidah Hamnah (may Allah be pleased with her) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "If you are able, combine Zuhr and Asr with one ghusl, then combine Maghrib and Isha with one ghusl, and pray the morning prayer with one ghusl." He informed her that of the two courses this was the more preferred, although the first ruling was also sufficient for her: that she perform ghusl upon becoming pure from menstruation, after which there was no order to perform ghusl. The narration concerning the woman with istihadah is unrestricted, while in the hadith of Hamnah there is a choice.
