PURIFICATION SECTION · 118 – THOSE WHO SAY ABLUTION IS ONLY REQUIRED AFTER BREAKING IT
305 – From ʿIkrima (may Allah be pleased with him): Umm Ḥabība, the daughter of Jaḥsh (may Allah be pleased with her), experienced istiḥāḍa (non-menstrual bleeding). The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded her to wait for the days of her menstruation, then to perform ghusl (ritual bath) and perform her prayer. If Umm Ḥabība saw blood, she would perform ablution and pray.
306 – From Rabīʿa (may Allah be pleased with him): Rabīʿa did not consider it necessary for women with chronic bleeding to perform ablution for every prayer unless something other than the excuse blood that breaks ablution occurred; if it did occur, he would say that she should perform ablution. Abū Dāwūd said: This is the statement of Mālik ibn Anas.
