Chapter on the Rules of Menstruation, Istihadah, and Nifas, and Purification From Them
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْمَاضِيَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلنُّفَسَاءِ وَ كَمْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا تَرْكُ اَلصَّلاَةِ قَالَ« تَدَعُ اَلصَّلاَةَ مَا دَامَتْ تَرَى اَلدَّمَ اَلْعَبِيطَ إِلَى ثَلاَثِينَ يَوْماً فَإِذَا رَقَّ وَ كَانَتْ صُفْرَةٌ اِغْتَسَلَتْ وَ صَلَّتْ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى».
Through this chain of narration, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin, from his brother Al-Husayn, from Ali ibn Yaqtin, who said:
I asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Madi عليه السلام about the woman in a state of nifas (postnatal bleeding) and how long she is required to refrain from prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: "She refrains from prayer as long as she sees fresh (red) blood, up to thirty days. If the blood becomes light and turns yellowish, she performs ghusl and resumes praying, Allah سبحانه وتعالى willing."
