The ruling on blood after purity in Ramadan

The questioner: Yes, if you please, let me ask you a question, excuse me. No harm. Is the question clear?

The Shaykh: I am telling you, the issue is also related to prayer, not just fasting. Yes, indeed, she reached the days of the month in the year, but as for prayer, it is for the whole year. So how did it compare regarding prayer? What was she doing?

The questioner: I do not know exactly, but I mean...

The Shaykh: Okay, my brother, in a case like this, I cannot give an answer based on so-and-so narrating from so-and-so, because if he is asked, he does not know how to give an answer.

The questioner: Now, for example, let us say regarding fasting. Of course, prayer is more obligatory and more emphasized, meaning that since it is prayer for the whole year, it appears that she was taking a bath. She would take a bath for ten days, considering it a recommended practice and not menstruation, for the sake of prayer. Now, we are dealing with fasting.

The Shaykh: Fasting, my brother, is attached to prayer. Every woman who prays fasts, and every woman who fasts prays. What is the problem?

The questioner: I mean, she is now taking medication for the sake of regularity. The period of irregularity has become late, meaning the period of this month has become irregular, but before this, it was regular. The menstruation, her custom, was regular before this period, but it seems that something of illness occurred during the past three weeks, so she started taking medication to regulate her menstruation. How is the prayer and fasting considered now, at the same time or in the same moment?

The Shaykh: My brother, I am telling you, it is not enough for you to ask the person involved. You must ask: Do you know what is called purity?

The questioner: What is there?

The Shaykh: I am telling you, do you know what is called purity?

The questioner: No, by Allah.

The Shaykh: Do you know that she knows purity? Do you know that she knows what purity is? So how can I answer you? If she asked me...

The questioner: Excuse me, with respect to your honor, but she is shy. She is too shy to ask any other person.

The Shaykh: My brother, may Allah be pleased with you. There is no shyness in the religion.

The questioner : Allah.

The Shaykh: I am asking you, do you know what purity is? You say no, what is the matter with her? We did not hear her voice, we heard your voice. Did you get the answer? You cannot get the answer because, first, you do not know what purity is, and second, even if you knew, you do not know that she knows. The issues are connected to each other, so...

The questioner: The child.

The Shaykh: Purity, purity, purity, with the letter ta, ha, and ra.

The questioner: Yes, purity is to become pure. No.

The Shaykh: Yes, what is the problem? Do I want to waste my time with you?

The questioner: It brings you reward, meaning.

The Shaykh: My brother, he says to me, "Wait," but I am not sitting with my legs crossed waiting for words. I have work. Also, the questions are in Ramadan after the 'Asr prayer, not now, but they told me there is an urgent matter. Where is the urgent matter?

The questioner: But the urgent matter is considering whether she will fast tomorrow or not?

The Shaykh: I understand, my brother, but you are not presenting the story to me. Do you see the purity? In these days that are getting mixed up, do you see the purity?

The questioner: Okay, excuse me, one moment. Let me have you speak with the mother, because she understands these matters of purity. She understands the girl's problem.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.

The questioner: Okay, sir?

The Shaykh: Okay, okay.

The questioner: But there is a small question, excuse me, before this.

The Shaykh: Make it bigger, excuse me.

The questioner: Sir, okay, if a woman bathes from menstruation and considers herself clean and eats the pre-dawn meal based on this, and on the second day she finds a few drops of blood, is the second day considered fasting for her, or must she bathe again, or what is the situation?

The Shaykh: Same issue. Did she see the purity?

The questioner: The fourth in purity.

The Shaykh: You do not know?

The questioner: Okay, if I connect you with the parents.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you.

The questioner: Give it to you, please. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner: She bathed and dripped, she saw herself clean, nothing was coming out of her. Then the next day she bathed and ate the pre-dawn meal, and the next day after noon, I came and wiped from the sky, should she remain fasting or break her fast, or...

The Shaykh: The question is understood, but we are asking our brother the questioner a question he could not answer me, so he referred me to you. I am asking you now, do you know what is called purity?

The questioner: Yes, after...

The Shaykh: Okay, is your daughter the one in the case?

The questioner: Yes, honestly, you refuse, my daughter.

The Shaykh: Your daughter, okay, does she know purity?

The questioner: We do not know if the child knows or not.

The Shaykh: The problem is, if you are her mother and you do not know, then her brother or whoever was asking me is excused for not knowing. So now I cannot answer you unless you tell me she knows purity. Then the matter will proceed and you will get the answer. Otherwise, how old is the girl?

The questioner: The wife's daughter, and she has a daughter.

The Shaykh: Okay, so she does not know purity? Ask her, just as the questioner asked you and referred you to me. You also refer me to you. Ask your daughter, my daughter, do you know purity? If you do not know, teach her.

The questioner: What is your opinion?

The Shaykh: And if she knows purity, it is not you, we are talking about her. Yes. And if she knows what purity is. Yes. The answer will be: if she sees the purity, this is proof that she has become pure and the duration of menstruation has ended. It is obligatory for her to pray and fast and everything. If she sees some blood after the purity, it does not affect it. It does not affect it. Do you understand what the case is? The case is standing on the purity. If she sees the purity, she is pure. And if she sees blood afterwards, this will be blood of irregular bleeding, not blood of menstruation. Clear? Yes. Clear, proud. My sister, we are asking you, is the answer clear?

The questioner: Yes, the answer is clear.

The Shaykh: Okay, is there anything else?

The questioner: If she saw the purity and bathed the next day. The next day she must bathe. No. She bathed at night. Does she bathe the next day?

The Shaykh: My sister, if she sees the purity and after the purity she sees blood, it is not obligatory for her to bathe. This is blood of irregular bleeding.

The questioner: It is irregular bleeding.

The Shaykh: Blood of irregular bleeding does not obligate the bath.

The questioner: Before, it was obligatory.

The Shaykh: But she must perform the ablution for every prayer if the blood continues with her. There are women with whom the blood continues for months, it continues with them for years. In the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), one of the noble Companions, her name was Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh, it continued for two years and she was seeing the blood.

The questioner: I, when the sky, she performs the ablution and raises.

The Shaykh: About your daughter? Yes, if she sees the blood after the purity, she performs the ablution and prays every prayer, she needs the ablution for every prayer, if the blood continues with her. But if, like a person whose hand is cut and the blood stops, it does not affect it. She performs the ablution and prays as many prayers as she wishes between the ablutions. But if the blood does not stop, this is called blood of irregular bleeding. It is not obligatory for her to bathe, but it is obligatory for her to perform the ablution for every prayer. Did you understand me?

The questioner: Yes, France.

The Shaykh: Okay, do you have anything else?

The questioner: So, thank you very much.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
