Even if the place of blood is not scraped with wood, nor rubbed with nails, nor washed with lotus (berry) leaves, and the part which the blood did not touch, even if water is not sprinkled on it. And rubbing with nails, scraping with wood, and washing with lotus leaves is optional and recommended. And indeed, by washing the blood from the garment, the garment becomes pure and clean, and it is sufficient to pray in it.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said, or it was said to her: When you became menstruating during the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how did you clean your clothes? She said: We would become menstruating in our clothes and shirts, so we would wash only that part of them which had blood on it. And indeed, today, one of your servants among the servants becomes free on the day of her purification just to wash her clothes.
