The ruling on dark discharge caused by carrying a heavy object
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Another questioner says: A woman carried a heavy object, which affected her, and dark discharge came from her. It did not stop from the beginning of this month. What should she do, given that it is not the time for her period?
The Shaykh : Yes, she should fast and pray. Her fast is valid and her prayer is valid, because this dark discharge that came from her has a cause, and what is it? Carrying this heavy object. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the blood of the woman with irregular bleeding that it is blood from a vein. This indicates that blood from the veins, even if it comes from the private parts, is not considered menstruation, but rather irregular bleeding. Accordingly, we say that what came from this woman when she carried this heavy object, which is dark discharge and is also outside the days of menstruation, is blood that is not to be taken into account; that is, it does not prevent fasting or prayer.
