The maximum duration of menstruation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 19894 )
Q: I am a woman, 28 years old, and I suffer from the length of my menstrual cycle days. I have suffered from the excessive number of days since immediately after my marriage. The number of days reaches the tenth day, and sometimes more. I went to many doctors, and they said: there is no treatment or solution for you for this; because it is a natural weakness in me. This causes me a problem in fasting and prayer. The problem starts from the sixth day during the onset of the period, when it starts to come down
A simple point: until the tenth day, and even longer, until the spotting disappears after ten or twelve days. And when Ramadan comes, I fast for only 18 days, and the rest are menstrual days. Question: I want to know the number of days in a normal menstrual cycle, and on which day I should start purification, prayer, and fasting ?
A : The ten days you mentioned are your custom; because the customs of women in menstruation differ in length and shortness. The custom can extend to fifteen days, so you must sit [remain in a state of impurity] during the mentioned period and consider it menstruation, even if the blood decreases on some days and increases on other days. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
