The bathing and prayer of a Mustahadah (women with a prolonged blood flow)
179. Aishah narrated: Umm Habibah bint Jahsh asked the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam: ´´I am a woman whose blood keeps flowing (after the menstrual period).´´ He said: ´´That is only from vein, so take a bath and pray.´´ So she used to take a bath for every prayer. Laith bin Sa´d said: Ibn Shihab made no mention that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam ordered her to take a bath for every prayer, but she did it of her own accord.
