The Ruling on Distinction in the Blood of a Woman with Regular Irregular Bleeding

The questioner : The woman with regular irregular bleeding: what is the valid distinction that is certain for her?

The Shaykh : No, what is it that is certain?

The questioner : Why?

The Shaykh : Because what happened, as long as this woman has a distinctive custom, a known custom, and the Lawgiver said, "Sit for the duration of your usual period," without detailing it, because the Lawgiver may consider the woman's comfort. The general rule is that this distinction in the case of women with irregular bleeding is generally unstable, tiring, and a burdensome consideration.

The questioner : We say that this distinction is valid, but there is a divine cosmic law that does not change, this

The Shaykh : And in any case, if it coincides with the time of the custom, it is clear.

The questioner : Unless it does not occur.

The Shaykh : If it does not coincide, that is the problem now.

The questioner : That is, it is as if it is certainty. That is, if the valid distinction is as if it is certainty, how is it to be abandoned when the custom returns?

The Shaykh : We say we abandon the custom based on the text. As long as the Lawgiver referred us to the custom, we return to the custom.
