Narrated Umm Salamah; Ummul Muminin: Bakkar Ibn Yahya said that his grandmother narrated to him: I entered upon Umm Salamah. A woman from the Quraysh asked her about praying with the clothes which a woman wore while she menstruated. Umm Salamah said: We would menstruate in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then each one of us refrained from prayer during menstrual period. When she was purified; she would look at the clothe in which she menstruated. If it were smeared with blood; we would wash it and pray with it; if there were nothing in it; we would leave it and that would not prevent us from praying with it the same clothe. As regards the woman who had plaited hair - sometimes each of us had plaited hair - when she washed; she would not undo the hair. She would instead pour three handfuls of water upon her head. When she felt moisture in the roots of her hair; she would rub them. Then she would pour water upon her whole body.
