2ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَرَى الدَّمَ قَبْلَ وَقْتِ حَيْضِهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا رَأَتِ الدَّمَ قَبْلَ وَقْتِ حَيْضِهَا فَلْتَدَعِ الصَّلاَةَ فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا تَعَجَّلَ بِهَا الْوَقْتُ فَإِذَا كَانَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَيَّامِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ فِيهِنَّ فَلْتَتَرَبَّصْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ بَعْدَ مَا تَمْضِي أَيَّامُهَا فَإِذَا تَرَبَّصَتْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ عَنْهَا الدَّمُ فَلْتَصْنَعْ كَمَا تَصْنَعُ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ.

Published English translation

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from al-Hassan ibn Sa‘id from Zur’ah, from Sanaa ‘ah who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a woman who experiences blood discharge before the time of her Hayd (menses) period. He (the Imam) said, ‘If she experiences blood discharge before the time of her Hayd (menses) she must stop performing Salah (prayer). Perhaps it has started earlier. If blood discharge continues for more than the period of time she normally experiences, she must wait for three days above the normal period of time and if it did not stop after three days she then must follow the procedure for one experiencing Istihadah (irregular menses).”’
