Chapter: The Mustahada (Woman experiencing non-menstrual bleeding) performs ghusl from one period of purity to the next.

• I heard Ahmad say: "The least that has been reported regarding the mustahada is that she performs one ghusl and performs wudu for every prayer," and this is his madhhab (school of thought).

• I asked Ahmad, saying: "Is it sufficient for the mustahada to perform one ghusl and then perform wudu for every prayer?" He said: "Yes." I asked: "Is this your madhhab?" He said: "Yes."

• I asked 'Ali ibn 'Abd Allah, saying: "What should the mustahada do?" He said: "As for me, I order her to perform one ghusl, then perform wudu for every prayer." He said: "There are four opinions regarding it."

579 - Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, saying: Abu Mu'awiyah informed us, from Hisham ibn 'Urwah, who said: My father said—regarding the mustahada: "She performs wudu for every prayer."

580 - Abu Hisham narrated to us, saying: Hassan narrated to us, saying: Sufyan said: "The statement of Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from 'A'isha—regarding the ghusl of the mustahada—is more beloved to me."

581 - Muhammad ibn al-Wazir narrated to us, saying: Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us, saying: Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, from Bukayr, from 'Urwah, from al-Zubayr, who said: "The mustahada performs ghusl from one period of purity to the next, and performs wudu for every prayer."

582 - Ishaq narrated to us, saying: Jarir informed us, from Bayan, from 'Amir, from Qamir—the wife of Masruq—who said: I asked 'A'isha about the mustahada. She said: "She leaves the prayer during the days of her menses that she used to menstruate; and when it is the day on which she performs her ghusl, she performs ghusl on it, then performs wudu thereafter for every prayer."
