Ladies and Personal MattersLadies and night discharge -- Sahih Buhari-- Volume 1, Book 5, Number 280: Narrated
Um-Salama: (the mother of the believers) Um Sulaim, the wife of Abu Talha, came
to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling
you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet
dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "Yes, if she notices
a discharge." Narrated 'Aisha: A woman asked the Prophet about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, "Take a perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it." She said,' "How shall I clean myself with it, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet said, "Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Allah's Apostle meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.
