Praying During Menstruation

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to pray while Maimunah bint al-Harith was in her state of menstruation, and his cloth would sometimes touch her when he prostrated.

Maimunah bint al-Harith reported : the Messenger of Allah used to pray while. I was by his side in the state of menstruation. Sometime his cloth would touch me when he prostrated. He would pray on a small mat.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، حَدَّثَتْنِي مَيْمُونَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا حِذَاءَهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَرُبَّمَا أَصَابَنِي ثَوْبُهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's practice of praying while Maimunah bint al-Harith was in her state of menstruation. It is important to note that during this time, women are not allowed to perform their daily prayers due to religious restrictions. However, the Prophet Muhammad showed us that it is still possible for a woman in this state to be present during prayer and even have his cloth touch her when he prostrated. This shows us that we should not exclude anyone from our prayers regardless of their physical or mental condition. Additionally, it teaches us the importance of being mindful and respectful towards others during prayer by ensuring that our clothing does not come into contact with them if they are in a vulnerable position such as menstruating or ill. Furthermore, it also teaches us the importance of using a small mat for prayer as opposed to large carpets which can take up too much space and cause discomfort for those around you.
