Bleeding before the customary period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: It is my custom that I see a small amount of blood coming out before the menstrual blood comes
which I have used as my standard, and which I recognize by severe pain and vomiting. With this pain, this blood stops, and a thick fluid comes out, orange or light red in color, unlike the blood that precedes menstruation, for I do not feel severe pain when it comes out, but I feel mild pain, and its color is somewhat different from menstrual blood. During this period, I pray and fast. I went to Hajj in the year (1421 AH), and this happened to me on the Day of 'Arafah and the night of staying at Muzdalifah . We woke up at approximately 3:00 and went to perform the Tawaf of Ifadah. When I entered—may Allah reward you—the restroom, I saw blood that was not like menstrual blood; it was close to dark brown, but I did not mind it, completed my ablution, and performed the Tawaf of Ifadah. This was before Fajr. Then we stayed in the Haram until near the end of the two Eid sermons, then we left for Mina. We arrived there at approximately 9:00 or 10:00. Then I went to take a bath that day, and I saw a lot of blood, which was the menstrual blood I recognize. So I stopped praying. On the thirteenth day, we went to perform the Farewell Tawaf, and I was on the verge of purity. I arrived there near the 'Asr prayer, and I entered—may Allah reward you—the restroom and saw that the blood had stopped, but I did not see the white discharge. So I took a bath and performed Tawaf, making my Tawaf a repetition of the Tawaf of Ifadah along with the Farewell Tawaf, because I doubted its validity, and I said: perhaps that blood was from menstruation. Then we went to stay outside
Makkah . When I stood up for the Fajr prayer, I saw yellowish discharge, which also made me doubt whether my second Tawaf was in a state of purity or not? My question is: Is the Tawaf of Ifadah valid or not, meaning, has my Hajj been completed or not? And if it is valid, which of the two Tawafs is more valid, the first or the second? And is my action correct? I ask for an answer to this question as soon as possible, because it has confused me greatly, and may Allah reward you with the best reward?
A2: The blood you see before the customary period, which is connected to it, is counted as part of the customary period, even if its color differs from the blood of the customary period, as long as the blood does not exceed the maximum days of menstruation, which is fifteen days. The Tawaf of Ifadah you performed while you had blood is considered an invalid Tawaf, so you must repeat it to complete your Hajj, because Tawaf is not valid for a menstruating woman. If you are married and intercourse took place, you are required to pay an expiation, which is a sheep that is acceptable for the 'Id sacrifice, slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor. If you are unable to pay the expiation, you must fast for ten days.
