652 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ، وَعَلَيَّ مِرْطٌ لِي، وَعَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُ»

Commentary
The use of a cloth or garment as a covering for the body by a menstruating woman does not make the entire clothing unclean. Her blood, however, if it soils the cloth, shall only make the affected part unclean. Once the spot is washed, the entire cloth or garment becomes fit for all uses, even for prayer etc.
