سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَرَى الصُّفْرَةَ فِي أَيَّامِهَا فَقَالَ لَا تُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ أَيَّامُهَا وَ إِنْ رَأَتِ الصُّفْرَةَ فِي غَيْرِ أَيَّامِهَا تَوَضَّأَتْ وَ صَلَّتْ.

“I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who finds a discharge of yellow color during the time of her normal period of Hayd (menses).

إِنْ كَانَ قَبْلَ الْحَيْضِ بِيَوْمَيْنِ فَهُوَ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ بَعْدَ الْحَيْضِ بِيَوْمَيْنِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ‌[2].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a woman who experiences a blood discharge of yellow color two days before her normal time for her Hayd (menses), has said that she must not perform Salah (prayer). It is Hayd (menses). If such discharge is two days after the time of her Hayd (menses) free period, she must perform Salah (pr

إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الصُّفْرَةَ قَبْلَ انْقِضَاءِ أَيَّامِ عِدَّتِهَا لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ صُفْرَةٌ بَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ أَيَّامِ قُرْئِهَا صَلَّتْ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman experiences a discharge of yellowish color within the (normal) time period of her Hayd (menses), she must not perform Salah (prayer); but if it is after the period of Hayd-free time she must perform Salah (prayer).”’

سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَرَى الصُّفْرَةَ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَ الْحَيْضِ فَهُوَ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ وَ مَا كَانَ بَعْدَ الْحَيْضِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْهُ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, when I was in his presence, about the case of a woman who experiences a discharge of yellowish color. He (the Imam) said, ‘What is before Hayd (menses) is of Hayd (menses) and what is after Hayd (menses) is not Hayd (menses).”’

قَالَ‌[3]: الصُّفْرَةُ قَبْلَ الْحَيْضِ بِيَوْمَيْنِ فَهُوَ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ وَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ الْحَيْضِ لَيْسَ مِنَ الْحَيْضِ وَ هِيَ فِي أَيَّامِ الْحَيْضِ حَيْضٌ.

‘A discharge of yellowish color for two days before Hayd (menses) is of Hayd (menses) and after the days of Hayd (menses) is not of Hayd (menses); however such (discharge) during the days of Hayd (menses) is Hayd (menses).”’
