In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving

 

All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.

 

There is no need for changing the bed sheet if a woman’s menses stops and she takes a bath.

 

One needs to change the sheet only if soiled.

 

There is also no need for the husband to take a bath after sharing the bed with her (while she was menstruating). The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to share the bed with his beloved wife Aishah and yet he never bathed because of that. Nor did he ask Aishah to wash or change the bed sheets she was sleeping.  She performed ghusl and nothing else.

 

It is not good for us to be rigid on such matters. Let us remind ourselves of the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him): “This religion of ours is easy to follow; whoever makes it hard will only destroy himself.” (Al-Bukhari)

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
