706 - Yahya ibn 'Abd al-Hamid narrated to us, saying: Ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us, from al-Ajlah, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: "The husband of a woman suffering from istihadah may approach her; for the prayer is more significant than sexual intercourse."

707 - Yahya narrated to us, saying: Waki' narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Ghaylan ibn Jami' al-Muharibi, from 'Abd al-Malik ibn Maysarah, from al-Sha'bi, from Qamir—the wife of Masruq—from 'A'ishah—may Allah be pleased with her—who said: "The husband of a woman suffering from istihadah should not approach her."

708 - I heard Ishaq say: Yahya ibn Sa'id informed us, from 'Uthman ibn al-Aswad, he said: I asked Mujahid about a woman who sees the sign of purity (tuhr) but has not yet performed ghusl; may her husband approach her? He said: "No, not until the prayer becomes permissible for her."
