English translation

201. It was narrated from Fāṭimah bint Qais from Banu Asad Quraish that she came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that she suffered from Istihādah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding). She said that he said to her: "That is (bleeding from) a vein, so when the time of menstruation comes, stop praying, and when it goes, then wash the blood from yourself then pray.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

201 - أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَدَوِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدِ قُرَيْشٍ: أَنَّهَا أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهَا تُسْتَحَاضُ، فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهَا: «إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتِ الْحَيْضَةُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ الدَّمَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى»

Commentary

1. When the menstruation ends - or in other words, when the flow of blood stops - the purificatory bath (Ghusl) becomes obligatory. 2. Istihâdha is bleeding outside of the menses called metrorrhagia, or a flow of blood called menorrhagia, coming out from the womb. Since it is a disorder, it does not obligate the bath. Irq signifies a blood vessel; meaning the bleeding might be originating from a particular blood vessel.
