5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Hassan ibn ‘Rashid who has said the following:

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , if a woman because of Hayd (menses) is required to make Qada’ (compensatory) Salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ’No, she is not required.’ I then asked about fasting. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, she must make Qada’ (compensatory fast for) fasting missed during experiencing Hayd (menses).’ I then asked on what basis it is so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The first one who used analogy was Iblis (Satan).’ I then asked, ‘Can a person fasting stay in water?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’ I then asked, ‘Can he wear wet clothes?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he cannot do so.’ I then asked, ‘On what basis is this?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is from that (there is no analogizing in religion)’ I asked, ‘Can a fasting person use sweet basil?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, because it is a pleasure which is undesirable to enjoy.’”
