Ikrimah reported Hamnah daughter of Jahsh as saying that her husband would have intercourse with her during the period she had a flow of blood.

Ikrimah said: Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood ; her husband used to cohabit with her. Abu Dawud said: Yahya bin Main has pronounced Mu'alla (a narrator of this tradition) as trustworthy. But Ahmad bin Hanbal would not report (traditions) from him because he exercised personal opinion.
