5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ’Abd Allah ibn af-Mughirah from ’Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman experiencing Istihadah must take Ghusl (bath) for Salah (prayer) of al-Dhuhr to perform Salah (prayer) of al-Dhuhr and al-‘Asr, then take Ghusl (bath) near al-Maghrib to perform Salah (prayer) of al-Maghrib and al-Tsha’, then take Ghusl (bath) near the morning for Salah (prayer) of the morning. It is not harmful if her husband comes to her if he likes. Only in the days when she experiences Hayd (menses) he must stay away from her.’ He (the Imam), said, ‘Any woman who follows this instruction for the sake of reward from Allah enjoys good health.”

6. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, if a woman waits for ten days experiencing blood discharge, then she becomes clean; and after three discharge-free days experiences blood discharge again, is she required to stop performing Salah (prayer)? He (the Imam) said, ‘No, she is Mustahadah. She must place cotton one piece after the other piece, perform two Salah (prayer) together one after the other with one Ghusl (bath) and her husband can come to her if he wants.”

7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud Mawla’ abu al-Mighra’ al-‘Ijliy from those who narrated to him who have said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who experiences Hayd (menses), then the time for her al-Dhuhr Salah (prayer) comes when she finds bleeding. He (the Imam) said, ‘She must examine by means of the day to see if it stops before ten days. If it continued after ten days it, then is because of Istihadah (not Hayd (menses). If bleeding stops (before ten days) she must take Ghusl (bath) and perform Salah (prayer ). 5 I then asked, ‘If a woman whose Hayd (menses) is seven days or eight days all the time and straight then she experiences Hayd (menses) for three days, then bleeding stops, then she finds white discharge not yellow, nor blood . 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘She must take Ghusl (bath) and perform Salah (prayer ) 5 I then said that she performs Salah (prayer) and fasts but bleeding comes again. He (the Imam) said, ‘When she finds blood she must stop Salah (prayer) and fasting . 5 I then said that she finds blood one day and one day finds no blood. He (the Imam) said, ‘When she finds blood she must stop Salah (prayer) and fasting and when she does not find blood, she performs Salah (prayer) and when the number of the days of her Hayd (menses) are complete and bleeding stops, she must perform Salah (prayer). If she finds blood it is then because of Istihadah. I have organized all of her affairs for you.”
