The noble wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would have intimacy with one of his wives while she was in the state of menstruation, and that woman would have tied a waist-wrapper. It would reach halfway down the thighs (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) or up to the knees, and the woman would tie it as a loincloth.
