The Meaning of the Infarction with Cotton

Question
What is the meaning of the infarction that was performed by Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her?
Answer
It is for the menstruating woman to place cotton in her vagina and to use it; if it comes out white, it is a sign of purity. Women would bring it in a cloth to our mother Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, and she would say: (Do not rush until you see the white discharge), and Allah knows best.
