The answer

There is no legal basis that obligates washing menstrual cloths before discarding them. Rather, the apparent action of the female Companions, and their leaving them unwashed, is evidence that it is not obligatory, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, affirmed that. What is circulated about the necessity of washing them is nothing but superstitions.
