The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and I used to take a ritual bath from one pot when we were both Junub (in a state of major ritual impurity). During my menses, he would order me to put on a lower garment, and he would fondle me. While in i'tikāf (seclusion for worship in…
أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ، صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، كِلاَنَا جُنُبٌ. وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُنِي فَأَتَّزِرُ، فَيُبَاشِرُنِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ. وَكَانَ يُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَىَّ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ…
"O womenfolk, give charity, for indeed, I was shown that you form the majority of the dwellers of Hellfire." They said: Why is that, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "You curse frequently, and you are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone deficient in intellect and religion more able to…
Chapter 7Chapter: A menstruating women should perform all the ceremonies of Hajj except the Tawaf around the Ka'bah
Chapter introduction
Ibrahim said, “There is no harm in reciting a Verse of the Qur’an by a menstruating woman.” Ibn ‘Abbas considers that there was no harm in the recitation of the Qur’an by a Junub. The Prophet ﷺ used to remember (glorify) Allah at all times. Umm ‘Atiyya said that they were ordered to let the menstruating women come out (on festivals) to say Takbirat (Allahu-Akbar), and to invoke Allah. Ibn ‘Abbas narrated on the authority of Abu Sufyan: Heraclius asked for the letter of the Prophet ﷺ and read it. It began: “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you that we worship none but Allah …” (V.3:64). And ‘Ata quoted from Jabir, “Aishah رضي الله عنها got her menses and she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj except the Tawaf round the Ka‘bah and she did not offer Salat (prayers).” Al-Hakam said, “I slaughter the animal even if I were Junub.” And Allah جل جلاله said: “Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allah’s Name has not been pronounced (at the time of slaughtering of the animal).” (V.6:121).

اعْتَكَفَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ، فَكَانَتْ تَرَى الدَّمَ وَالصُّفْرَةَ، وَالطَّسْتُ تَحْتَهَا وَهْىَ تُصَلِّي.
Chapter 19Chapter: The beginning and the ending of menstrual periods
Chapter introduction
Some women used to send the pads of cotton with traces of yellowish discharge to ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها (for her verdict to know whether they had become clean from menses or not). And ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها would say, “Do not hurry till you see the cotton pad is white (meaning the perfect disappearance of menses).” The daughter of Zaid bin Thabit was told that some women used to ask for candles at midnight to see whether the menses had stopped or not. On that, the daughter of Zaid said that the ladies (the wives of the Prophet’s Companions) had never done so, and she blamed them (the former women).

Chapter 24Chapter: If a woman gets menses thrice a month
Chapter introduction
Can we believe a woman if she says she is menstruating or pregnant, and whatever is related to menses as is referred to by the Statement of Allah جل جلاله: “…And it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs…” (V.2:228). ‘Ali and Shuraih said, “If a woman presents witness from her relatives who are good Muslims that she is getting menses thrice a month then she is to be believed.” ‘Ata said, “Her previous menstrual cycles are to be taken into consideration.” The same was said by Ibrahim. ‘Ata said, “Menses can last from one to fifteen days.” Ibn Sirin was asked about a woman who noticed blood five days after her menstrual cycle. He replied: The women knew better about that.
I have a continuous flow of vaginal bleeding; so, I never attain purity (from menses). Should I abstain from prayer? He replied: "No, this is a vein. Abstain from prayer only for a number of days similar to those of your normal menses; then, take a ritual bath and pray."
‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: Umm Habībah had non-menstrual vaginal bleeding for seven years. She asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about that, and he ordered her to take a ritual bath. ‘Ā’ishah said: "She used to take a ritual bath for…

Chapter introduction
Ibn ‘Abbas said: She should take a bath and offer Salat (prayers) even if (she were clean) for an hour and she can have (sexual relation with her husband) after the prayer, and As-Salat (the prayer) is more superior and important (than anything else).
