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

اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْوَرْدِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ اَلَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلظُّهْرِ وَ قَدْ صَلَّتْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَرَى اَلدَّمَ قَالَ« تَقُومُ مِنْ مَسْجِدِهَا وَ لاَ تَقْضِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ» قَالَ« فَإِنْ رَأَتِ اَلدَّمَ وَ هِيَ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ قَدْ صَلَّتْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلْتَقُمْ مِنْ مَسْجِدِهَا فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَلْتَقْضِ اَلرَّكْعَةَ اَلَّتِي فَاتَتْهَا مِنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ».
From Ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Ri’ab, from Abu al-Ward: He (Narrator) said: “I asked Abu Ja’far عليه السلام about a woman who is performing the Dhuhr prayer and has completed two rak’ahs, then she sees blood (indicating menstruation).” Imam عليه السلام said: "She should leave her place of prayer and is not required to make up the two rak’ahs." Then Imam عليه السلام said: "If she sees blood while performing the Maghrib prayer and has already completed two rak’ahs, she should leave her place of prayer. However, when she becomes pure, she must make up the one rak’ah that she missed from the Maghrib prayer."
