Haidh as Mentioned in Hadith

Hadith 1: It is reported in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Anas bin Maalik رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that when any Jewish woman would enter into her menstrual cycle neither would they allow her to eat with them nor did they keep her with them in their homes. The Sahaba enquired in this regard from the Prophet  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم, so due to this Almighty Allah عزوجل revealed the verse ( وَ یَسْئَلُوْنَکَ عَنِ الْمَحِیْضِ )  [Surah2, Verse222], so the Prophet صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘With the exception of having sexual intercourse do whatever else you wish.’ When the Jews heard of this they began to say that he صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  wishes to do everything contrary to us. Due to this Usaid bin Hudair and Ubad bin Bishr رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنھما came forth and said, ‘The Jews are saying such and such a thing, so should we not have intercourse with them (so that we may act totally against them)?’ The expression on the Holy Face of Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  changed to the extent that we thought that he would become upset at them. The two of them left and after them, someone sent a gift of milk to Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم . Huzoor صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  then sent someone out to summon them and then fed the milk to them, so they understood that Huzoor صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  was not displeased with them.

Hadith 2: It is in Sahih Bukhari that Umm ul Momineen Sayyidah Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا says, ‘We departed for Hajj and when we reached ‘Suruf’, my cycle started, so I began to weep and Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  approached me and said, ‘What has happened, are you in your cycle?’ I replied in the positive, so he صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘This is such a thing which Almighty Allah has written (i.e. ordained) for the daughters of Adam, so do everything else which all those in Hajj do except for the Tawaaf of the Holy Kaaba.’ She further says, ‘Huzoor صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  sacrificed a cow on behalf of all his Holy wives.’

Hadith 3: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari that Urwah was asked, ‘Can a female who is in her menstrual cycle serve me and can an impure female (Junub) sit close to me?’ Urwah replied, ‘All this is easy upon me and all of them can serve me and there is no objection to any of them in this regard. Umm ul Momineen A’isha رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا informed me that she used to comb the sacred hair of Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  whilst she was in her cycle and when Huzoor was in seclusion (I’tekaf), he would place his head close to her and she would be inside her room.’

Hadith 4: It is in Sahih Muslim from Umm ul Momineen Sayyidah Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا wherein she says, ‘During my cycle, I used to drink water and then give it to Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم , so Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم used to place his holy mouth at the spot that my mouth had touched.’

Hadith 5: It is in Sahihain from Umm ul Momineen Sayyidah A’isha Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا wherein she says, ‘Whilst I would be in my cycle, Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم would keep his sacred head on my lap and recite the Holy Qur’an.’

Hadith 6: It is reported in Sahih Muslim from Umm ul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا wherein she says, ‘Huzoor asked me to stretch out my hand and pick the Musal’la (prayer mat) from the Musjid, so I replied by saying that I was in my cycle (menstruating). Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘your cycle is not in your hand.’’

Hadith 7: It is reported in Sahihain from Umm ul Momineen Maymuna رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا wherein she says that Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم used to pray his Namaaz in a sheet, a portion of which was on me and a portion on him and I was in my cycle at this time.

Hadith 8: Tirmizi and Ibn Majah report on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who has intercourse with a menstruating female, or has intercourse with a female from her anus, or one who goes to a fortune teller, he has committed ungratefulness (i.e. disbelief) of that which has been revealed upon Muhammad صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم ’.

Hadith 9: It is in the narration of Razeen that Mu’az ibn Jabl رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ said, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم ! What is Halaal (lawful) upon me from her, when my wife is menstruating?’ He صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘That which is above the waist-cloth (i.e. above the navel) and to avoid even that is better.’

Hadith 10: The Ashaab-e-Sunan Arba’a reported on the authority of Ibn Ab’bas  that Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who has intercourse with his wife during her menstrual cycle should give half a dinar in Sadqa.’ There is another narration in Tirmizi on the authority of Ibn Ab’bas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ which says that, he صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘When the blood is red, he should give 1 dinar and when it is yellowish, he should give half a dinar.’

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 2)
