Mu'adhah says that I asked Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about a menstruating woman whose clothes get stained with menstrual blood. She replied that sometimes I would have three consecutive periods while with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and I would not be able to wash my clothes, and sometimes the Prophet (peace be upon him) would be praying and the garment that was on my body, a part of it would be on the Prophet (peace be upon him), and I would be sleeping near him in the state of menstruation.
