Hadith 116
Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)
Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:
The woman who has a prolonged flow of blood should wash herself every day when her menstrual period is over and take a woollen cloth greased with fat or oil (to tie over the private parts).
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ، - وَهُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ - عَنْ مَعْقِلٍ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ إِذَا انْقَضَى حَيْضُهَا اغْتَسَلَتْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَاتَّخَذَتْ صُوفَةً فِيهَا سَمْنٌ أَوْ زَيْتٌ .
