Sunan Ibn Majah 653 (Book 1, Hadith 387) #30005
Praying While Menstruating

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed while wearing a wool cloak, with part of it covering him and part of it covering his wife who was menstruating.

It was narrated from Maimunah that: The Messenger of Allah performed prayer wearing a wool cloak. Part of it was over him and part was over her, and she was menstruating.
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ صَلَّى وَعَلَيْهِ مِرْطٌ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُ وَعَلَيْهَا بَعْضُهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's example of prayer while wearing a wool cloak. Part of the cloak was over him and part was over his wife, Maimunah, who was menstruating at the time. This hadith shows us that even though menstruation is seen as something that can prevent one from praying or performing other religious duties, this does not have to be the case. The Prophet showed us that we can still pray even if we are in a state of impurity such as during menstruation. He also showed us that we should not be ashamed or embarrassed by our natural bodily functions and instead should continue to practice our faith despite them. Additionally, this hadith teaches us about modesty and respect for ourselves and others; by covering himself and his wife with the same garment he demonstrated how important it is to maintain modesty in all aspects of life.
