Blood Exceeding Fifteen Days and Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If the blood of my wife exceeds fifteen days, does she pray or not?
Answer:
It is istihadah (irregular non-menstrual bleeding), as mentioned previously. In the end, it is five hours a day. If the istihadah increases, she performs wudu' (the ablution for prayer) for every prayer, prays, fasts, and is lawful for her husband. She returns to her original custom, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. She returns to her original custom, meaning the six or seven days she used to abstain. Whatever exceeds that, she performs wudu' for every prayer, is lawful for her husband, and fasts and prays. When the custom (menstruation) comes, she sits, does not pray, and does not fast.
