English translation

359. Bakkār bin Yaḥyā narrated from his grandmother, that she said: "I visited Umm Salamah, and a woman from the Quraish asked her about praying in the garment that she had her menses in. Umm Salamah said: 'We would be in our menses during the time of the Messenger of Allāh, ﷺ, so we would wait during the days of our menses (i.e., would not offer prayers), then become pure. We would then look at the garment we had menstruated in. If there was any blood on it, we would wash it and pray in it. And if nothing had affected it, we would leave it, and the fact (that we had our menses in it) would not prevent us from praying in it. As for the woman who has her hair done — and some of us would have our hair done[1] — then while performing Ghusl, she would not undo that. Instead, she would pour over her head three fistfuls (of water), until, when she thought that the water had reached the roots of the hair, she would rub it. Then she would pour water over the entire body.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

359 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكَّارُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي قَالَتْ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي ثَوْبِ الْحَائِضِ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: «قَدْ كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا الْحَيْضُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَلْبَثُ إِحْدَانَا أَيَّامَ حَيْضِهَا ثُمَّ تَطَّهَّرُ، فَتَنْظُرُ الثَّوْبَ الَّذِي كَانَتْ تَقْلِبُ فِيهِ، فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ دَمٌ غَسَلْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا فِيهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ تَرَكْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنَا ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ، وَأَمَّا الْمُمْتَشِطَةُ فَكَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا تَكُونُ مُمْتَشِطَةً فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ لَمْ تَنْقُضْ ذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَحْفِنُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ، فَإِذَا رَأَتِ الْبَلَلَ فِي أُصُولِ الشَّعْرِ دَلَكَتْهُ، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَتْ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهَا»
