English translation

252. It was narrated from 'Aishah that a woman asked the Prophet ﷺ about performing Ghusl following menstruation and he told her how to perform Ghusl. Then he said: "Take a piece of cloth perfumed with musk and purify yourself with it." She said: "How should I purify myself with it?" He covered his face then said: "Subhân Allâh! Purify yourself with it." 'Aishah said: "I took the woman aside and said: 'Wipe away the traces of blood with it.'"(Sahih)

Arabic text

251 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلْتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ غُسْلِهَا مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ فَأَخْبَرَهَا كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «خُذِي فِرْصَةً مِنْ مَسْكٍ فَتَطَهَّرِي بِهَا». قَالَتْ: وَكَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا؟ فَاسْتَتَرَ كَذَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا». قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: فَجَذَبْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ، وَقُلْتُ: تَتَّبِعِينَ بِهَا أَثَرَ الدَّمِ

Commentary

Since menstrual blood smells bad, a woman should, beyond taking a bath, take additional steps to clean her private area. For instance, she might think of using fragrance, so that the odor of the blood is eradicated.
