“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a woman experiencing Hayd (menses) becomes clean at the time of al-‘Asr must she perform al-Salah (prayer) before (al-‘Asr)? He (the Imam) said, ‘No, she is required to perform only al-Salah (prayer) in the time of which she has become clean.’”

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a woman, who is for al-Hajj al- Tamattu‘ (advantageous), performs Tawaf, then experiences Hayd (menses).

“Once it was mentioned before Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), that women, during the night, asked for a lantern to examine if blood discharge has stopped or not; and it was considered laughable. He (the Imam) said, ‘When did women do this?”’ (Meaning the proper test is with a piece of cotton)

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘The minimum Hayd (menses) free period is ten days, that is, the time from the end of one period of Hayd (menses) to the beginning of the second one.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman experiencing Hayd (menses) who finds herself clean and her husband goes to bed with her. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful but taking Ghusl (bath) is more likeable to me.’”

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a girl who experiences blood discharge for the first time. It continues for three months and she does not know the duration the discharge-free time of her Hayd (menses).
