The Purity of the Menstruating Woman and the Woman in Postnatal Bleeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: If a woman is menstruating in Ramadan, or is in the final stage of postnatal bleeding and becomes pure from it after the dawn of one of the days of Ramadan, does she have to complete the fasting
of that day or not? And what must she do if she takes a full ritual bath and begins fasting, and then something of that appears after the usual period for both menstruation and postnatal bleeding has ended? Does she break her fast, or does that not affect it?
Answer: As for the first point of the question, which is if the menstruating woman becomes pure during the day, or the woman in postnatal bleeding becomes pure during the day, she takes a full ritual bath and prays, and abstains for the rest of her day, then she makes up this day in another period. This is what is obligatory for her.
And as for the second point, which is if her blood from menstruation, or from postnatal bleeding, stops and she takes a full ritual bath,Then she saw something after that:
As for the menstruating woman, if her usual period is completed and her blood stops completely, and then she takes a full ritual bath, and then she sees something after that, she does not pay attention to it,Due to the statement of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her):Bulugh al-Maram 143 , so she does not pay attention to that.
As for the woman in postnatal bleeding, if her blood stopped before the completion of the forty days, and then she took a full ritual bath, and then something returned to her, she is considered to be in postnatal bleeding, and what returned is considered part of the postnatal bleeding. It is not valid with fasting or prayer, as long as it is present, because it returned during the period of postnatal bleeding. However, if the forty days were completed, and she took a full ritual bath, and then something returned to her after the forty days, she does not pay attention to it unless it coincides with the days of her usual period before the postnatal bleeding, in which case it is menstruation.
In conclusion: That this requires detail. If the menstruating woman’s usual period is completed,
and she took a full ritual bath, and her blood stopped and she took a full ritual bath, and then she saw something after that, she does not pay attention to it. And if her usual period was not completed, and she saw purity during the usual period, and then took a full ritual bath, and then it returned to her, she considers it menstruation, because it came to her during the usual period. And likewise the woman in postnatal bleeding, if it returned to her during the forty-day period, it is considered postnatal bleeding. And if she has something after the completion of the forty days, she does not consider it anything unless it coincides with her menstruation days before the postnatal bleeding, and before the pregnancy.
