Chapter on the Rules of Menstruation, Istihadah, and Nifas, and Purification From Them

وَ رَوَى عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ وَ سِنْدِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ تَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهَا اَلصَّلاَةُ ثُمَّ تَطْهُرُ فَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ أَفَلِزَوْجِهَا أَنْ يَأْتِيَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ قَالَ« لاَ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ».
It is narrated from Ayub ibn Nuh and Sindy ibn Muhammad, both from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Sa’id ibn Yasar, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I said to Imam عليه السلام: "A woman becomes prohibited from performing prayer (due to menstruation), then she becomes pure and performs ablution (wudu) without performing the ritual purification (ghusl). Is it permissible for her husband to approach her before she performs ghusl?" Imam عليه السلام said, "No, not until she performs ghusl."
