713 - Ishaq narrated to us, saying: Jarir narrated to us, from Sufyan, from al-Mughirah, from Ibrahim, who said: "There is no harm in a menstruating woman kneading dough or preparing nabidh (a type of infusion/drink)."
714 - Ishaq narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-A'la informed us, saying: Sa'id narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: "The people of the Jahiliyyah (Pre-Islamic period) would not let a menstruating woman spend the night in the house, would not eat with her, and would not share a bed with her. So Allah revealed about that, prohibiting her private part and permitting everything else."
715 - Abu al-Walid al-Tayalisi narrated to us, saying: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Jews would not sit with menstruating women in a house, nor would they eat or drink with them. This was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said: So Allah the Exalted revealed: {And they ask you about menstruation. Say, 'It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation.'} Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do everything, except intercourse."
(1) Thus it is in the original, and perhaps the correct reading is: "yusharibun" (they would not drink with them).
