سألت أبا الحسن (عليه السلام) عن الحائض كم يكفيها من الماء؟ قال: فرق.
I asked Abu Al-Hasan (peace be upon him) about how much water is sufficient for a menstruating woman? He said: A faraq (*).
أقول: حمله الشيخ على الاسباغ والفضل، ويمكن حمله على كثرة الشعر والنجاسات والوسخ بحيث يحتاج إلى ذلك القدر لما مر هنا وفي الوضوء والجنابة وغير ذلك والله أعلم.
I (Hurr Amili) say: The Sheikh interpreted this as referring to thorough washing and excess, and it can be interpreted based on the abundance of hair, impurities, and dirt where that amount might be needed, as has been discussed here and in matters of wudu, janabah, and other cases, and Allah knows best.
Translator: * A "faraq" is a unit of volume equal to about 10 liters.
