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

اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« أَيُّمَا اِمْرَأَةٍ رَأَتِ اَلطُّهْرَ وَ هِيَ قَادِرَةٌ عَلَى أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ وَقْتَ صَلاَةٍ فَفَرَّطَتْ فِيهَا حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ وَقْتُ صَلاَةٍ أُخْرَى كَانَ عَلَيْهَا قَضَاءُ تِلْكَ اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلَّتِي فَرَّطَتْ فِيهَا فَإِنْ رَأَتِ اَلطُّهْرَ فِي وَقْتِ صَلاَةٍ فَقَامَتْ فِي تَهْيِئَةِ ذَلِكَ فَجَازَ وَقْتُ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَقْتُ صَلاَةٍ أُخْرَى فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا قَضَاءٌ وَ تُصَلِّي اَلصَّلاَةَ اَلَّتِي دَخَلَ وَقْتُهَا».
From Ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Ri’ab, from Ubayd ibn Zurarah: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: "Any woman who sees that she has become pure (from menstruation) and is capable of performing Ghusl (ritual purification) during the time of a prayer but neglects it until the time for another prayer begins, then she must make up the prayer she neglected. However, if she sees that she has become pure during the time of a prayer and begins preparing for it, and the time of the prayer passes and the time for another prayer begins, then there is no obligation upon her to make up the missed prayer. Instead, she should pray the one whose time has started."
