Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman is forty-five years old, and her usual menstrual period is five days. However, sometimes the cycle is delayed by a month or two, so the duration of menstruation is sometimes five days and sometimes reaches eight days. Do the three extra days prevent her from praying and fasting?
Answer:
Yes, the custom sometimes increases from five; it can become ten, fifteen, or less. The custom increases and decreases, and it comes early or late; this is a common occurrence among women. So eight days is the custom. Even if her custom was originally five, she adds the three to it, making it eight. It can increase to ten, or even to fifteen. Yes.
