Regarding 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, she was asked about the woman experiencing istiḥāḍah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding). She said: "She should refrain [from prayer] for the duration of her regular menstrual period." This chain of narration (sanad) is authentic, as all its narrators are trustworthy: Ma'mar, 'Asim ibn Sulayman, and Qumayr.
