It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyida Fatima bint Abi Hubaysh (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am a woman who suffers from continuous bleeding; the blood does not stop, so should I stop performing prayers? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is blood from a vein (not menstruation), so when menstruation comes, leave the prayer, and when the period of menstruation ends, wash the blood off and perform the prayer."
