Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on menstruation, or what should one do? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Since women differ and their conditions vary, it is obligatory for her to wait until her usual period ends and she sees purity. When she sees purity, she performs the full ritual bath, prays, fasts, and becomes lawful to her husband. If her usual period ends, she sits and does not pray. Her usual period might be six days, and she might see blood for seven or eight days; there is no harm in that. The usual period increases and decreases. It might be six days, and she might become pure after five or four days; she performs the full ritual bath and prays as well if the usual period decreases. So the usual period increases or decreases. However, if the usual period continues for fifteen days, that is the limit. If it exceeds that, she is a woman with irregular bleeding. She performs the full ritual bath and prays even if she has blood, and she returns to her original usual period, which is six or seven days. Because when it exceeds fifteen days, it is known that this is an illness, and that this is not the usual period but rather an illness of irregular bleeding. She returns to her original usual period, which is six, seven, eight, or five days, and she prays and fasts for what exceeds that, and she becomes lawful to her husband. If she broke her fast, she makes up what she missed in Ramadan. Purity is determined by the white discharge or by...
...placing a piece of clean cloth. If she sees that it has changed with blood, then she has not become pure. If she sees it clean with nothing on it, then she has become pure. The maximum duration of menstruation is fifteen days. This is its maximum. If it exceeds that, it is a sign of irregular bleeding. She returns to her original usual period, which is five, six, seven, or eight days. Yes.
