Al-Kāfi - The Book of Hayd (menses) Chapter: Pregnant Woman Finds Blood 6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َيْرٍ عَنْ سُلَيْ٠َانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلا٠) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الْحُبْلَى رُبَّ٠ِثَتْ فَقَالَ نَعَ٠ْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ فِي بَطْنِ أُ٠ِّهِ غِذَاؤُهُ الدَّ٠َا كَثُرَ فَفَضَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا فَضَلَ دَفَعَتْهُ فَإِذَا دَفَعَتْهُ حَرُ٠َتْ عَلَيْهَا الصَّلاَةُ.

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى إِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ تَأَخَّرَ الْوِلاَدَةُ. 6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Sulayman ibn Khalid who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a pregnant woman, saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, can such woman experience Hayd (menses)?

He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, because the child’s food in mother’s womb is blood. It (blood) may exceed the amount of food for the child. It (the excess) is then repelled. When this happens, Salah (prayer) becomes unlawful for her.’” In another Hadith it is said that it causes a birth delay. حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (13/239))
