When does a menstruating woman perform the ritual bath if she wants to pray?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Regarding the ritual bath... from the cessation of menstruation in "Sahih al-Bukhari":
Give up the prayers only for the days on which you usually get the menses and then take a bath and offer your prayers. دع الصلاة قدر الأيام التي كنت تحيضين فيها ، ثم اغتسلي وصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 325
, do you agree with this, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh: I did not understand the beginning of the answer. It says al-Shawkani: it is not obligatory for whom?

The questioner: It is not obligatory for a menstruating woman to perform the ritual bath except upon the cessation of menstruation.

The Shaykh: And who says the opposite?

The questioner: Yes, meaning may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh: How do you mean... did you get defeated? I am afraid that there is...

The questioner: ... my Shaykh, I...

The Shaykh: No, but I am afraid there is an error in your question.

The questioner: Yes... my Shaykh, well, it is possible, my Shaykh, that this hadith is in al-Bukhari.

The Shaykh: My brother, my brother, who says that it is obligatory for a menstruating woman to perform the ritual bath before she becomes pure?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: I find your question confusing.

The questioner: Yes, you are right, my Shaykh, but I mean...

The Shaykh: Well, can you tell me where al-Shawkani says this?

The questioner: In "Nayl al-Awtar," my Shaykh.

The Shaykh: I understand. In Nayl al-Awtar. Where is Nayl al-Awtar? It is eight volumes. We will review eight volumes for you.

The questioner: Volume one, pages 38, 39.

The Shaykh: This specification is also vague; because, as we always say, any answer that forces the questioner to rephrase the question in another way...

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: It means the answer will be deficient.

The questioner: Yes, my Shaykh, you are right.

The Shaykh: Because I will tell you, what is the edition you have?

The questioner: Correct.

The Shaykh: So the edition you have will be different from the edition I have.

The questioner : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh: Then tell me, such a book, such a chapter.

The questioner: The chapter on menstruation.

The Shaykh: Well, I will review the topic then. And regarding the hadith of whom?

The questioner: May Allah preserve you, my Shaykh. The hadith of:
Give up the prayers only for the days ولكن دَعِي الصلاة قدر الأيام
Sahih al-Bukhari 325
.

The Shaykh: My brother, tell me the hadith.

The questioner: In another narration.

The Shaykh: Tell me the hadith of Fatimah, tell me the hadith of A'ishah.

The questioner: Yes, yes, it is the hadith of the chapter from A'ishah... in al-Bukhari.

The Shaykh: Okay, well, what do you have for another question?

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O our Shaykh.
