Al-Kafi 4192

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Is’haq Bin Jareer who said, ‘A woman from us asked me if I could get her to see Abu Abdullah^asws. So I sought the permission for her and he^asws permitted for her, and with her was a slave girl of hers. So she said to him, ‘O Abu Abdullah^asws! The Words of the Exalted, <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:24#h35"><a href="/books/quran:24#h35">[24:35]</a></a> lit from a blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western</span>, what is Meant by this?’ So he^asws said to her: ‘O you woman! Allah^azwj the Exalted does not Strike the examples for the trees. But rather, He^azwj struck examples for the children of Adam^as. Ask about whatever you are intending to’. She said, ‘Inform me about the lesbian with the lesbian, what are their legal punishments (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>)?’ He^asws said: ‘The legal punishment (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) of the adultery. When it will be the Day of Judgement, they will come with them, and they would be wearing cut-outs of Fire, and harnessed by the harnesses of Fire, and wearing trousers of Fire, and columns of Fire would enter inside them to go up to their heads, and they will be thrown into the Fire. O you woman! The first ones who did this deed were the people of Lot^as, and the men satisfied their needs with the men. So the women remained without men, and so they did just as their men were doing, satisfying each other’. So she said to him^asws, ‘May Allah^azwj Keep you^asws well! What are you^asws saying regarding the woman who menstruates and it exceeds the (regular) days of her menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>)?’ He^asws said: ‘If her menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) was of less than ten days, she would examine after one day, then she would be with inter-period bleeding (<span class="iTxt">Istihaaza</span>)’. She said, ‘Supposing the blood continues with her for the month and the two months, and the three, how would she deal with the <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span>?’ He^asws said: ‘She would sit (awaiting) for the (regular) days of her menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>), then she would wash for every two <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span>s’. So she said to him^asws, ‘If the days of her menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) are different upon her, and the menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) tended to precede by the day, or two days, and three, and it would get delayed similar to that, so what can she know with it?’ He^asws said: ‘The blood of the menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) is not unknown. It is a hot blood. You would find a burning sensation with it. And the blood of the inter-period bleeding (<span class="iTxt">Istihaaza</span>) is putrid, cold’.
