How to perform the ritual bath for menstruation and the difference between it and the ritual bath for major ritual impurity

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if you would please explain and clarify the Sunnah regarding how to perform the ritual bath for menstruation, and whether it is the same as or different from the ritual bath for major ritual impurity?

Answer:
The ritual bath for menstruation does not differ from the ritual bath for major ritual impurity in that the woman first cleans herself by washing her private parts and cleaning them from the outside. If she places something in them, such as cotton containing some perfume, musk, or the well-known fragrant substance, she puts it in a piece of cotton, then inserts it into the passage to perfume the scent. Then she performs the ablution for prayer, then she washes her head, pouring water over her head and saturating it three times, then she pours water over her body three times. This is the most complete and best way, and the obligatory amount is once. Likewise, she must unbind her head if it is bound, whether for menstruation or post-natal bleeding. As for major ritual impurity, she does not unbind her head. Yes.
