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

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا رَأَتِ اَلدَّمَ فِي أَوَّلِ حَيْضِهَا فَاسْتَمَرَّ اَلدَّمُ تَرَكَتِ اَلصَّلاَةَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً فَإِنِ اِسْتَمَرَّ بِهَا اَلدَّمُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَرَكَتِ اَلصَّلاَةَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ صَلَّتْ سَبْعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً» قَالَ اَلْحَسَنُ وَ قَالَ اِبْنُ بُكَيْرٍ وَ هَذَا مِمَّا لاَ يَجِدُونَ مِنْهُ بُدّاً.
Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Mu'awiyah bin Hakim, from Hasan bin Ali, from Abdullah bin Bukayr, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "If a woman sees blood at the beginning of her menstruation and the blood continues, she should refrain from prayer for ten days, then pray for twenty days. If the blood continues after that, she should refrain from prayer for three days and then pray for twenty-seven days." Hasan said that Ibn Bukayr added: "This is something for which they find no alternative."
