SECTION ON PURIFICATION · 119 – THE STATE AFTER PURIFICATION
307 – From Umm ʿAtiyya (may Allah be pleased with her): She had pledged allegiance to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: "We did not consider the yellowish or muddy discharge that appeared after purification (from menstruation) to be anything of significance." [228]
EXPLANATION
According to the Ḥanafīs, unless pure white is seen following the blood, it is still considered menstruation. After muddiness, performing ghusl (ritual bath) is obligatory. According to Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, if muddiness is seen after the cessation of blood, she performs ghusl and prays. According to the Shāfiʿīs, if muddiness is seen after the cessation of blood and it does not exceed fifteen days, it is considered part of menstruation.
308 – From Umm ʿAtiyya (may Allah be pleased with her): A narration similar to the previous hadith was transmitted. Abū Dāwūd said: Umm Huzayl: She is Hafṣa, the daughter of Sīrīn. Her son’s name is Huzayl. Her husband’s name is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.
