Question
Does a menstruating woman have to change her clothes after her period ends, if no blood or najaasah (impurity) has gotten on them?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
She does not have to do that, because menses does not make the body naajis (impure); rather menstrual blood only makes naajis what it touches. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) enjoined women, if any menstrual blood gets on their clothes, to wash them and pray in their garments. End quote.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him)
