٦ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) امْرَأَةٌ طَهُرَتْ مِنْ حَيْضِهَا أَوْ مِنْ دَمِ نِفَاسِهَا فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَاضَتْ فَصَلَّتْ وَصَامَتْ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ مَا تَعْمَلُ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ مِنَ الْغُسْلِ لِكُلِّ صَلاتَيْنِ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ صَوْمُهَا وَصَلاتُهَا أَمْ لا فَكَتَبَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) تَقْضِي صَوْمَهَا وَلا تَقْضِي صَلاتَهَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَانَ يَأْمُرُ فَاطِمَةَ صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ بِذَلِكَ.
6. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Ali ibn Mahziyar from who has said the following: “I once wrote to him (the Imam) , about the case of a woman who becomes clean of Hayd (menses) or childbirth bleeding on the first day of the month of Ramadan. She then experiences istihadah, she performs Salat (prayer) and fasts in all of the month of Ramadan without doing what a woman experiencing istihadah is required to do such as Ghusl (bath) for every Salat (prayer): if her fast and Salat (prayer) are valid. He (the Imam) wrote, ‘She completes Qada’ (compensatory fast) of fast but not Qada’ (compensatory salat) for her Salat (prayer); the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would instruct Fatimah, ‘Alayha al-Salam, and the believing women to do so.”’
