2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from ‘Umar ibn Aban al-Kalbiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a woman who experiences Istihadah (kind of menses). He (the Imam) mentioned ’Asma’ bint ‘Umays and said, ’Asma’ gave birth to Muhammad ibn abu Bakr in al-Bayda’ and in the case of her giving birth there was blessing for women who give birth or experience Hayd (menses). The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, commanded her to use something like a diaper, secure it with a belt and assume the state of Ihram.”’

He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, she can do so when it is time for assuming the state of Ihram.’”

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Salmah ibn al-Khattab from Ali ibn al-Flakam from Muhammad ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Marwan from Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a woman who wanted to assume the state of Ihram but her Hayd (menses) commenced. He (the Imam) said, ‘She must take Ghusl (bath), fill her uterus with cotton, wear the cloth of Ihram, during the night take them off and use normal clothes until she is clean of her Hayd (menses).”’
