Chapter on Obligatory and Recommended Ritual Washing

Narrated by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me through this chain of narration from Muhammad ibn Ya’qub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Umar ibn Udhaynah, from al-Fudayl ibn Yasar and Zurara, from one of the Imams عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "A woman experiencing postpartum bleeding (nufasaʾ) refrains from prayer during the days of her usual period of bleeding, then performs ghusl and acts as the woman experiencing irregular bleeding (mustahadah) would act."
