‘Imran ibn Talha related from his mother Hamnah bint Jahsh that she suffered from vaginal bleeding during the time of the Messenger of Allah (SAW), so she went to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and said: Indeed I have been suffering from very aggravating and intense bleeding. He said to her: Stuff some cotton in. She said to him: It is more intense than that; indeed it is really coming out a lot. He said: Put something around yourself to hold it in and wait out the bleeding every month, as Allah is aware, for six or seven days; then wash yourself really well and pray and fast for 23 or 24 days; postpone the dhuhr prayer but do the ‘asr prayer earlier, washing yourself really well for both of them; and postpone the maghrab prayer but hasten the ‘ishaa prayer, washing yourself really well for both of them; this is how I best prefer these two issues.
