Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The sister Umm 'Abd al-Majid mentioned in her question that she is a woman who has reached the age of menopause, being fifty-five years old. She says that her menstrual period used to come regularly, once a week each month, but now, due to the cessation of her period, it comes to her for three days, then stops for a week, and then returns again. What should she do regarding the prayers and fasting? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The position of the majority of the scholars is that menstruation ends at the age of fifty. So if a woman reaches fifty years of age, her menstruation has ceased. If blood comes to her after that, it is blood of corruption and blood of bleeding, and she does not leave the prayer because of it. Yes.
