4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Flariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a woman who has given birth and as to when she must perform Salah (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘She must wait for the number of days that are equal to those of her Hayd (menses). She then must examine in two days if bleeding has stopped, otherwise, she must take Ghusl (bath), fill up herself, secure it with a belt of cloths. She must perform the morning Salah (prayer) with one Ghusl (bath), Salah (prayer) of al-Dhuhr and al-‘Asr with one Ghusl (bath) and Salah (prayer) of al-Maghrib and al-‘Isha’ with one Ghusl (bath). If blood does not pass through the cotton, she can perform Salah (prayer) with one Ghusl (bath) (everyday).’ I then asked about a woman experiencing Hayd (menses). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the same. If bleeding stops, otherwise, it is Istihadah and she must do what the woman after childbirth does. She must perform Salah (prayer) in all conditions; the Holy prophet, has said, ‘Salah (prayer) is the pillar of your religion.”’
