Abu Bakr (ibn al-Mundhir) said:
- One. To wash excrement, urine, madhee, and blood is obligatory from that
garment in which one intends to pray in, regardless of whether it is a small
or large amount.
- Two. It is recommended to scrape sperm off the garment, but this is not
obligatory as it is considered pure.
- Three. The garments of the Muslims and polytheists in which one wishes
to pray in, belonging to both the young and old, are to be considered clean
until one is certain that it has become soiled with an impurity.
- Four. The sweat of the one who is in a state of major impurity and
Christian [for example] is pure.
- Five. If a person were to pray in an impure garment and find out after
he has prayed then he does not have to repeat that prayer, however he should
wash it for the ensuing prayers.
- Six. If the earth [on which he wishes to pray on] contains urine or
alcohol then he should pour water over the stained area in compliance to the

urine of the Bedouin Arab. When this is done the area become clean.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN : Menstruating Women
14. Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhaab narrated to us; Muhammad
bin Kanaasah informed us; Hishaam narrated to us; from his father; from Aa`ishah
(RA) that
she said:
"Faatimah bin Hubaysh came to the Prophet (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) and said, 'I undergo menstrual bleeding [but it does not stop] such that I may become pure. Should I leave the prayer?' He said, 'the bleeding is from a blood vessel and is not the menses. So leave the prayer when the real menses begin and when it has finished take a bath and start praying.'" {33}
Abu Bakr (ibn al-Mundhir) said:
- One. The least period of menstrual bleeding according to many of our
companions [the Shaafi`ees] is one day and one night. The most is fifteen
days and nights. {34}
- Two. If a young lady sees her menstrual blood for the first time then
she should refrain from prayer [and continue to refrain from it if the
bleeding goes on] for fifteen days and nights.
- Three. If the bleeding exceeds fifteen days and nights [then this is no
longer considered to be menstruation] and she should bathe and pray. In this
case she should make up those prayers that she missed after the first day
and night. {35}
- Four. The pregnant woman does not undergo menstruation.
- Five. The menstruating women do not have to make up the prayers they
missed while menstruating but they do have to make up the fasts. There is no
difference concerning this. {36}
- Six. Allaah says, "Keep away from women during menstruation."
[Al-Baqarah (2): 222] Hence it is unlawful to have sexual intercourse with
menstruating women.
- Seven. If a man does have sexual intercourse with a menstruating woman
then he must seek Allaah's forgiveness and there is nothing due upon his
wealth by way of expiation. {37}
- Eight. When the woman has become pure of the menses then her husband
should not have sexual intercourse with her until she has bathed.
- Nine. As for the woman who is undergoing abnormal bleeding then it is
permissible for her husband to have sexual intercourse with her. This is
because she has the ruling of being pure and enjoined to the prayer, fast,
recitation of the Qur`aan and performing tawaaf for Hajj or other than
Hajj.
- Ten. The husband is allowed to kiss [etc.] his menstruating wife but he
has to avoid the area of bleeding.
- Eleven. The maximum period for post-natal bleeding according to our
companions is two months. If she becomes pure in a day or less then she
should bathe and pray.
