Does a pregnant woman menstruate?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Like a pregnant woman, she does not menstruate.
The Shaykh : Yes, she does not menstruate, but the bleeding may continue with her.
The questioner : And it is not for the least of them.
The Shaykh : With the menstruation, if it continues according to its usual pattern and rhythm, it is menstruation. But if it stops at the beginning of the pregnancy and then returns, it is not menstruation.
The questioner : And it is not.
The Shaykh : The later doctors denied it completely, denying that a menstruating woman, that a pregnant woman, menstruates, and they said this is something that is not denied, just as the jurists said. As for Shaykh al-Islam, he says that a pregnant woman may menstruate if her blood is continuous as it has been. But if it is continuous as it has been, it may be said that this is evidence that she has not become pregnant yet, but she thought she was pregnant and she is not.
