📖 1 min readعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: "إن أم حبيبة اسْتُحِيضَتْ سبع سنين، فسألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن ذلك؟ فأمرها أن تغتسل، قالت: فكانت تغتسل لكل صلاة".
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Umm Habībah to take a ritual bath when she asked him about what she had to do concerning her non-menstrual vaginal bleeding. She, thus, used to do so for every prayer. She remained in this state for seven years. This non-menstrual vaginal bleeding, however, is uncommon among women. The regular blood women discharge is that of menstruation in a number of days monthly. It has signs that women can recognize.
