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

وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ وَلَدَتْ فَرَأَتِ اَلدَّمَ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَتْ تَرَى قَالَ« فَلْتَقْعُدْ أَيَّامَ قُرْئِهَا اَلَّتِي كَانَتْ تَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ تَسْتَظْهِرُ بِعَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَإِنْ رَأَتْ دَماً صَبِيباً فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ وَ إِنْ رَأَتْ صُفْرَةً فَلْتَوَضَّأْ ثُمَّ لْتُصَلِّ».
father, from Sa’d ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Muhammad ibn Amr, from Yunus, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a woman who gave birth and then saw blood for a duration longer than what she was accustomed to seeing. Imam عليه السلام said: "She should refrain from prayer for the duration of her usual menstrual period, then add up to ten precautionary days. If she sees fresh, flowing blood, she must perform ghusl at the time of every prayer. If she sees yellowish discharge, she should perform wudu and then pray."
