The Section on Purity · 109 – Prayer is not abandoned after the end of menstruation.




Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, reported that Fatimah bint Hubaysh came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying:
"I am a woman who cannot escape from the blood." (Implying it continues)
“Should we abandon prayer?”
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “It is a vascular disturbance; it is not menstruation. Abandon prayer when your customary days arrive, and once they pass, cleanse yourself with water, then pray.” [218]


It was narrated on the meaning of the preceding hadith with the chain of Zubeir and this narration contains the following statement: “When menstruation begins, abandon prayer. After the duration of menstruation has passed, wash away the blood and perform ghusl and pray.”
