Chapter on Menstruation, Istihada (abnormal bleeding), and Nifas (postpartum bleeding)
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى اَلْكَاهِلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يُجَامِعُهَا زَوْجُهَا فَتَحِيضُ وَ هِيَ فِي اَلْمُغْتَسَلِ تَغْتَسِلُ أَوْ لاَ تَغْتَسِلُ فَقَالَ« قَدْ جَاءَهَا مَا يُفْسِدُ اَلصَّلاَةَ لاَ تَغْتَسِلُ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Abdullah ibn Yahya al-Kahili, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام.
He (Narrator) said: “I asked Imam عليه السلام about a woman whose husband has intercourse with her, and then she begins menstruating while she is in the process of performing ghusl (ritual bath). Should she complete the ghusl or not?” Imam عليه السلام replied: "Menstruation has occurred, which invalidates the prayer; she should not perform the ghusl."
