The ruling on praying in a garment that has been affected by menstrual blood
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
Dear listening brothers, the discussion continues regarding matters related to menstruation that concern a woman’s worship of her Lord. Perhaps we will begin this episode with a question about the ruling on praying in the garment in which a woman menstruated, and then, after she has purified herself and wants to pray, the garment is still on her. Is she permitted to pray in it? Because some women ask about this.
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon him, his family, and all his Companions. As for what follows, this issue was asked of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah send prayers upon him. Regarding a woman who menstruates in her garment and the menstrual blood affects the garment, he said (peace and blessings be upon him): “She should scratch it, then rub it, then sprinkle it with water. She scratches it first to reduce the presence of the blood, then she rubs it, meaning she rubs it in the water, then she sprinkles it after the rubbing, and she prays in it.” He said (peace and blessings be upon him) This indicates issues. The first issue is the tightness of circumstances among the Companions, where their women, or most of their women, would menstruate in one garment and have no other, and they would purify themselves and pray in it.
The second issue is that it contains evidence of the impurity of blood, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to be washed.
The third issue is that it contains evidence of the method of purifying impurity when it affects a garment, whether from blood or otherwise; because it is washed.
The fourth issue is that the hadith contains evidence for the condition of the purity of garments for prayer, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And purify your garments.” In this hadith, there is evidence that the purity of the garment in which one prays is a condition. Yes.
