It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), a woman wrote to him that she had been suffering from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) for such and such days, and she had heard that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had said that such a woman should perform ghusl for every prayer. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: Apart from the statement of Ali, we do not find any concession for you.

Yahya bin Abi Kathir said: Abu Salamah or Ikrimah narrated to me that Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) used to observe i'tikaf with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and she would have (istihada) bleeding. The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered her to perform ghusl for every prayer.

It is narrated from Yahya bin Abi Kathir that Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say that a woman experiencing istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) will perform ghusl for every prayer time.

Imam Awza'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I heard from Ata bin Abi Rabah that (a woman with continuous bleeding) should perform one ghusl for every two prayers, and a separate ghusl for Fajr. Imam Awza'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Zuhri and Mak'hool, may Allah have mercy on them both, used to say that she should perform ghusl for every prayer.

It is narrated from Abu Salamah that Umm Habibah said: Wahb mentioned that Umm Habibah bint Jahsh used to experience continuous bleeding, and she asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about this matter, so he instructed: "Perform ghusl (ritual bath) at the time of every prayer and then offer the prayer."

Abu Bishr (Ja'far bin Abi Wahshiyah) said: I heard Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) say: A woman wrote to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas and Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them) that I am mustahadah (experiencing non-menstrual bleeding), I do not become pure, and I remind both of you by Allah to give me a fatwa. I inquired about this, and people told me that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that such a woman should perform ghusl for every prayer. Abu Bishr said: I read this letter aloud and wrote the reply with my own hand that I do not find anything except the statement of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) (i.e., what he said is correct). It was said that Kufa is a cold place. He replied: If Allah willed, He could have afflicted them with a greater trial than this.

It is narrated from Mujahid that it was said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that their area is a cold region, so he said: (Then in that case) delay the Zuhr prayer and offer the Asr prayer early, and perform one ghusl (ritual bath), offer the Maghrib prayer late and the Isha prayer early with one ghusl, and perform one ghusl for the Fajr prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyida Zainab bint Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with them) that the daughter of Jahsh was married to Abdur Rahman bin Awf, and she used to have continuous bleeding, and when she would come out of a basin or tub, the blood would come over the water, then she would perform prayer.

Imam Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard from Imam Zuhri and Yahya bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on them): they used to say that she (the woman with continuous bleeding) will perform a separate ghusl for every prayer. Imam Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: And I have also received the same narration from Mak'hool.

Imam Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that 'Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) informed me that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: For every two prayers there is a ghusl (ritual bath), except that the Fajr prayer will be performed with one ghusl.
