Chapter on Menstruation, Istihada (abnormal bleeding), and Nifas (postpartum bleeding)

عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْمِعْزَى قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْحُبْلَى قَدِ اِسْتَبَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا تَرَى كَمَا تَرَى اَلْحَائِضُ مِنَ اَلدَّمِ قَالَ« تِلْكَ اَلْهِرَاقَةُ إِنْ كَانَ دَماً كَثِيراً فَلاَ تُصَلِّيَنَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَلِيلاً فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَتَيْنِ».
From him, from Fadalah, from Abu Al-Mi'za, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a pregnant woman, when her pregnancy is evident, who sees blood similar to menstrual blood. Imam عليه السلام said: "That is discharge (al-hiraqah). If the blood is abundant, she should not pray. But if it is light, she should perform ghusl for every two prayers."
