769. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to pray at night when I was beside him and I was menstruating, and there was a garment over me, part of which was over the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ." (Sahih)

Arabic text

768 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ، وَعَلَيَّ مِرْطٌ بَعْضُهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

Commentary

This might have been occurring due to paucity of clothes during winter time. If the body of a menstruating woman touches a worshipper during prayer, the prayer will not be invalidated, particularly so when the situation is beyond one's control. The body of a menstruating woman is not impure.
