Sunan Ibn Majah 623 (Book 1, Hadith 357) #29975
Continuous Bleeding and Prayer

SUMMARY: A woman asked the Prophet if she should give up prayer due to her continuous bleeding, and he advised her to estimate the number of days in the month and take a bath before praying.

It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: "A woman asked the Prophet: 'I bleed continuously and I do not become pure. Should I give up the prayer?' He said: 'No, but leave off praying for the number of days and nights that used to menstruate'." (One of the narrators) Abu Bakr (Ibn Abu Shaibah) said in this Hadith: "Estimate the number of days in the month, then take a bath and cover your private part with a cloth and perform prayer".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَالَتْ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلاَ أَطْهُرُ أَفَأَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ وَلَكِنْ دَعِي قَدْرَ الأَيَّامِ وَاللَّيَالِي الَّتِي كُنْتِ تَحِيضِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ‏"‏ وَقَدْرَهُنَّ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسِلِي وَاسْتَثْفِرِي بِثَوْبٍ وَصَلِّي

EXPLANATIONS:
A woman once asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about whether she should give up prayer due to her continuous bleeding. The Prophet ﷺ advised her not to give up prayer, but instead estimate the number of days in a month that she usually menstruates for, take a bath before praying, and cover her private parts with a cloth while performing salah. This hadith teaches us that even though women may experience physical difficulties during their menstrual cycle, they are still obligated to perform their religious duties such as salah. It also emphasizes on modesty by covering one's private parts while performing salah. Furthermore, it encourages us to be mindful of our health by taking baths regularly during our menstrual cycle.
