Authentic 4 scholars’ grades Sunan Ibn Majah 631

Narrator:Ā’ishah

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ الْعَدَوِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، سَأَلَتْهَا أَتَقْضِي الْحَائِضُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ أَحَرُورِيَّةٌ أَنْتِ

قَدْ كُنَّا نَحِيضُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ثُمَّ نَطْهُرُ وَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِقَضَاءِ الصَّلاَةِ ‏.‏

It was narrated from 'Aishah that:

A woman asked her: "Does a woman who menstruates have to make up for the prayers she misses?" 'Aisha said to her: "Are you a Haruriyyah? We used to menstruate with the Prophet and then become pure, and he did not tell us to make up for the prayers we missed."

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 631).
