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

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تَحِيضُ وَ هِيَ جُنُبٌ هَلْ عَلَيْهَا غُسْلُ اَلْجَنَابَةِ قَالَ« غُسْلُ اَلْجَنَابَةِ وَ اَلْحَيْضِ وَاحِدٌ».
Ali ibn Ibrahim from Muhammad ibn Isa, from Yunus, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام. He (Narrator) said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a woman who becomes junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) and then begins menstruating. Is she required to perform ghusl (ritual bath) for janabah (sexual impurity)? Imam عليه السلام replied: "The ghusl for janabah and menstruation is one (i.e., a single ghusl suffices for both)."
