Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory to wash the clothes a woman wears during menstruation or post-natal bleeding when blood falls on them? Is it obligatory to wash the clothes a woman wears during menstruation or post-natal bleeding?

Answer:
If menstrual blood falls on her, she must wash the blood, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about menstrual blood falling on a garment, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the woman to remove this blood. He said: scrape it, then scrape it, then pinch it, then sprinkle it with water. This indicates that it is obligatory to wash any part of the clothes that menstrual blood has touched if she intends to pray in them. Yes.
