The Shaykh from menstruation, meaning: they used water.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, that is from you. from menstruation means the blood stops, meaning: they used water ... The text is more general and comprehensive.

Or they performed wudu', or they performed ghusl, and this is the most complete and best. Meaning, purification includes all these types.
