Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If you could clarify, Honorable Shaykh, the signs of the blood, meaning the criteria for considering it menstruation?
Answer:
The blood, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained, is black, is it not? Yes. It is thick, meaning it has specific characteristics. The first characteristic is that it is foul-smelling, having a bad odor. The second characteristic is that it is thick, meaning viscous. The third characteristic is that it is black, its color is black. Yes. These are the characteristics of menstruation that have been established by the evidence: that it is black, that it has an odor, and that it is thick. These characteristics may all be present in the blood, or only one of them may be present, and the ruling is the same. Yes.
