Sahih

شُهُودِ الْحَائِضِ الْعِيدَيْنِ، وَدَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَيَعْتَزِلْنَ الْمُصَلَّى

The attendance of menstruating women at the two Eids and the supplication of the Muslims, and that they keep away from the prayer ground

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ، سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلاَ أَطْهُرُ، أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ فَقَالَ " لاَ، إِنَّ ذَلِكِ عِرْقٌ، وَلَكِنْ دَعِي الصَّلاَةَ قَدْرَ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي كُنْتِ تَحِيضِينَ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي ".

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،.

Translation

Aishah reported that Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh asked the Prophet ﷺ. She said, “I suffer from prolonged bleeding (istihadah) and do not become pure. Shall I then leave the prayer?” He said, “No, that is a vein. But leave the prayer for the number of days in which you used to menstruate, then take the ritual bath (ghusl) and pray.”

Aischa berichtete, dass Fatima bint Abi Hubaisch den Propheten ﷺ fragte. Sie sagte: „Ich leide an Dauerblutung (Istihada) und werde nicht rein. Soll ich da das Gebet lassen?“ Er sagte: „Nein, das ist eine Ader. Lass aber das Gebet für die Dauer der Tage, an denen du deine Menstruation zu haben pflegtest, dann vollziehe die Ganzkörperwaschung und bete.“
