643. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I used to eat the meat from a bone when I was menstruating, then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would take it and put his mouth where my mouth had been. And I would drink from a vessel, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would take it and put his mouth where my mouth had been, and I was menstruating." (Sahih)
643 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كُنْتُ أَتَعَرَّقُ الْعَظْمَ، وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ، فَيَأْخُذُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَيَضَعُ فَمَهُ حَيْثُ كَانَ فَمِي، وَأَشْرَبُ مِنَ الْإِنَاءِ، فَيَأْخُذُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَيَضَعُ فَمَهُ حَيْثُ كَانَ فَمِي، وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»

It shows that the body of a menstruating woman is pure, and the impurity in essence is 'legal' except for the blood whose impurity is perceivable. The mouth and saliva of a menstruating woman is also pure. It is perfectly in order to eat and drink from the food and water left over by her.
