125. 'Aishah narrated: "Fātimah bint Abī Ḥubaish came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I am a woman who suffers from persistent bleeding and I do not become clean. Shall I give up Ṣalāt?' He said: 'No. That is only a
blood vessel, it is not menstruation. When your menstruation begins then leave the Ṣalāt. And when it ends, then wash the blood from you and perform Ṣalāt.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
In his narration, Abū Mu‘āwiyah[1] said: “And he said: ‘Perform Wudū’ for every prayer until that time comes.”
[He said:] There is something on this topic from Umm Salamah.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of ‘Āishah [: “Fāṭimah came”] is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
And it is the saying of more than one of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the Tābi‘in.
It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Mālik, Ibn Al-Mubārak, and Ash-Shāfi‘ī: That when the days of the period end for the Mustahādah, she is to perform Wudū’ for every prayer.

Commentary
Istihādah is a type of blood, other than the regular period, which flows from a woman due to a disease; its cause sometime is the rupture of a vein which is out of the womb and it is called ‘Adhil. It is usually because of disease, about which modern and traditional medical experts hold the view of it being from the inner side of the womb.
