Aisha reported: Asma daughter of Shakal asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about washing after menstruation. He said: Everyone amongst you should use water mixed with the leaves of the lote-tree and cleanse herself well; and then pour water on her head and rub it vigorously till it reaches the roots of the hair. Then she should pour water on it. Afterwards she should take a piece of cotton smeared with musk and cleanse herself with it. Asma said: How should she cleanse herself with the help of that? Upon this he the Messenger of Allah observed: Praise be to Allah; she should cleanse herself. Aisha said in a subdued tone that she should apply it to the trace of blood. She Asma then further asked about bathing after sexual intercourse. He the Holy Prophet said: She should take water and cleanse herself well or complete the ablution and then pour water on her head and rub it till it reaches the roots of the hair of her head and then pour water on her.
