Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This sister, the questioner, says to the Honorable Shaykh that she suffers from her monthly period; usually it is seven days, and usually it reaches twelve days. How should she deal with that regarding prayer, fasting, and other acts of worship?
Answer:
Yes, if the blood stops completely, then the period has ended, and she has to take a full ritual bath, fast, and pray. If the blood does not stop, even if only a slight trace remains, it is menstruation, so she continues to leave off prayer and fasting until it stops completely, then she takes a full ritual bath. Even if it varies, one time six nights, one time six days, one time nine days, one time less or more, as long as the blood is coming out, she is menstruating. If the blood stops completely, she is in a state of ritual purity and her period has ended. Yes.
