مُبَاشَرَةِ الْحَائِضِ

Contact with a menstruating woman

كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ كِلَانَا جُنُبٌ.وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُنِي فَأَتَّزِرُ، فَيُبَاشِرُنِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ. وَكَانَ يُخْرِجُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَىَّ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ، فَأَغْسِلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ.

Translation

Aishah reported: The Prophet ﷺ and I used to bathe from a single vessel, while both of us were in a state of janabah. He would instruct me, and I would put on a waist-wrapper, and then he would touch me while I was menstruating. And he would put his head out to me while he was in seclusion (i'tikaf), and I would wash it while I was menstruating.

Translator’s note: “Touch me”: bodily closeness without intercourse is meant. I'tikaf: staying in the mosque for devotion.

Aischa berichtete: Ich und der Prophet ﷺ pflegten uns aus einem einzigen Gefäß zu waschen, während wir beide in Dschanaba (große rituelle Unreinheit) waren. Und er pflegte mich anzuweisen, und ich legte einen Hüftschurz an, dann berührte er mich, während ich meine Menstruation hatte. Und er pflegte mir seinen Kopf herauszustrecken, während er sich zur Andacht zurückgezogen hatte (I'tikaf), und ich wusch ihn, während ich meine Menstruation hatte.

Translator’s note: „Berührte mich“: gemeint ist körperliche Nähe ohne Geschlechtsverkehr. I'tikaf: das Verweilen in der Moschee zur Andacht.

Âişe (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Ben ve Nebî ﷺ ikimiz de cünüp iken tek bir kaptan yıkanırdık. Bana emrederdi, ben de izar bağlardım; sonra ben hayızlı iken benimle temas ederdi. İtikâfta iken de başını bana uzatırdı, ben de hayızlı olduğum hâlde onu yıkardım.

Translator’s note: “Temas”: cinsel ilişki olmaksızın bedensel yakınlık kastedilmektedir. İtikâf: ibadet için mescidde kalmak.
