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

مَا رَوَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يُوَاقِعُهَا زَوْجُهَا ثُمَّ تَحِيضُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ قَالَ« إِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ فَعَلَتْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا شَيْءٌ فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ اِغْتَسَلَتْ غُسْلاً وَاحِداً لِلْحَيْضِ وَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ».
Ali ibn al-Hasan reported from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa‘id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar al-Sabati, 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 before performing ghusl (ritual bath) for janabah (major impurity).” Imam عليه السلام replied: "If she wishes to perform ghusl, she may do so, and if she does not, there is no obligation upon her. However, when she becomes pure from menstruation, she should perform one ghusl for both menstruation and janabah."
