سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْحَائِضِ تَطَهَّرُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ تَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ- قَالَ أَمَّا الطُّهْرُ فَلَا وَ لَكِنَّهَا تَتَوَضَّأُ فِي وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ تَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ وَ تَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ.

“I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about a woman experiencing Hayd (menses) who takes Ghusl (bath) on Friday and speaks of Allah. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ghusl (bath) is unhelpful but she can take Wudu’ at the time for Salah (prayer), then face the direction of Makkah and speak of Allah.”’

تَتَوَضَّأُ الْمَرْأَةُ الْحَائِضُ إِذَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ وَ إِذَا كَانَ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ تَوَضَّأَتْ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَ هَلَّلَتْ وَ كَبَّرَتْ وَ تَلَتِ الْقُرْآنَ وَ ذَكَرَتِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman experiencing Hayd (menses) can take Wudu’ when she wants to eat, and when it is time for Salah (prayer) take Wudu’, face the direction of Ka’bah say Tahlil, (no one deserves worship except Allah). Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and recite from al-Quran and speak of

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ يَنْبَغِي لِلْحَائِضِ أَنْ تَتَوَضَّأَ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثُمَّ تَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَ تَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ مِقْدَارَ مَا كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي.

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘A woman experiencing Hayd (menses) should take Wudu’ at the time of each Salah (prayer), face the direction of Ka’bah and speak of Allah for a period of time equal to a period of time Salah (prayer) is performed.’”

إِذَا كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ طَامِثاً فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَ الصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثُمَّ تَقْعُدَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ طَاهِرٍ وَ تَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ تُسَبِّحَهُ وَ تُحَمِّدَهُ وَ تُهَلِّلَهُ كَمِقْدَارِ صَلَاتِهَا ثُمَّ تَفْرُغُ لِحَاجَتِهَا[3].

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Performing Salah (prayer) during a woman’s experiencing Hayd (menses) is not permissible. However, she should take Wudu’ as it is taken for Salah (prayer) at the time of each Salah (prayer), sit in clean place and speak of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, glorify Him, praise Him and s
