2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ تَنْظُرُ أَيَّامَهَا فَلاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهَا وَلاَ يَقْرَبْهَا بَعْلُهَا فَإِذَا جَازَتْ أَيَّامُهَا وَرَأَتِ الدَّمَ يَثْقُبُ الْكُرْسُفَ اغْتَسَلَتْ لِلظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ تُؤَخِّرُ هَذِهِ وَتُعَجِّلُ هَذِهِ وَلِلْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ غُسْلاً تُؤَخِّرُ هَذِهِ وَتُعَجِّلُ هَذِهِ وَتَغْتَسِلُ لِلصُّبْحِ وَتَحْتَشِي وَتَسْتَثْفِرُ وَلاَ تُحَيِّي وَتَضُمُّ فَخِذَيْهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَسَائِرُ جَسَدِهَا خَارِجٌ وَلاَ يَأْتِيهَا بَعْلُهَا فِي أَيَّامِ قُرْئِهَا وَإِنْ كَانَ الدَّمُ لاَ يَثْقُبُ الْكُرْسُفَ تَوَضَّأَتْ وَدَخَلَتِ الْمَسْجِدَ وَصَلَّتْ كُلَّ صَلاَةٍ بِوُضُوءٍ وَهَذِهِ يَأْتِيهَا بَعْلُهَا إِلاَّ فِي أَيَّامِ حَيْضِهَا.

Published English translation

2. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn ‘Isa and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One experiencing Istihadah (irregular menses) must wait to complete the number of days of the pattern of her habit of experiencing Hayd (menses) and in such times she must not perform Salah (prayer) or go close to her husband. When such days are passed but blood discharge continues, she then must place a piece of cotton inside urethra. She must take Ghusl (bath) for al-Dhuhr and al-‘Asr Salah (prayer) with sometimes delay in that (al-Dhuhr) and earlier in this (al-‘Asr) and another Ghusl (bath) for al-Maghrib and al-‘Isha’ with sometimes delay for that and earlier for this. She must take a Ghusl (bath) for morning with urethra filled with cotton; she must not bend down and must keep her thighs close to each other when sitting, with other parts of her body kept out. Her husband must not go close to her during her time of Hayd (menses) free period. If blood discharge penetrates through the piece of cotton, she must take one Wudu’ to enter Masjid, and take Wudu’ for each Salah (prayer). In this case her husband can go close to her except in the days of her Hayd (menses).”’
