The ruling on the blood of a woman whose menses have stopped

The questioner : He says: Honorable Shaykh, a woman’s menses stopped for three months.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : He says: A woman’s menses stopped for three months, then blood came out of her, so she went to the hospital, and they said there is no pregnancy. What is the ruling on this blood? Does she stop fasting and praying? Or what does she do? Knowing that from the beginning of this month, the blood has been coming out of her until now, what is your guidance for her?

The Shaykh : This woman’s blood is menstrual blood, as long as the medical experts say that her womb is free of a child, this is menstrual blood. But she remains not fasting and not praying until she passes fifteen days. If she passes fifteen days, the blood becomes irregular non-menstrual bleeding; she takes a full ritual bath, fasts, and makes up the days she did not fast before. If the second month comes, she does not sit except for the duration of her usual menses only. Yes.
