What is the ruling on a woman who performed the full ritual bath for menstruation and prayed, then saw threads of blood on her garment? Is this prayer invalid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you allow me, I have a question to ask you about the monthly period. After she performs the full ritual bath for the monthly period, she starts praying.
The Shaykh : The monthly...
Another questioner : period.
The Shaykh : period.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Menstruation, I mean.
The questioner : Menstruation, yes. When the menstruation ends, she performs the full ritual bath for prayer, so she prays.
The Shaykh: Perfect.
The questioner : She notices threads on her clothes or something. Does this mean her prayer is invalid? Is her previous prayer considered unacceptable, and does she have to perform the full ritual bath...
The Shaykh : Do you mean that these threads of blood were from before?
The questioner : No, after.
The Shaykh : They come out of her.
The questioner : Yes, is she still doubtful about the matter?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. A woman is supposed to have a custom. First, if she adhered to her custom, for example, her custom is seven days and this custom ended, that is first. And second, if she sees the white discharge, or what is known among the common people as purity, this is well known to you, even if you are men, because men are responsible for women. The white discharge or purity is a liquid that comes out at the end of menstruation. So if the woman sees this liquid,The questioner : it is the legal sign that the woman has menstruated and finished her menstruation, and she must perform the full ritual bath. So if she does not see this,The questioner : what is called in the language of the Arabs the white discharge, it means she has not become pure. If she sees the white discharge and then sees drops of blood, that does not harm her. But the garment that had these drops of blood on it must be washed. With these drops after seeing the white discharge, she does not become menstruating again. Rather, if this blood increases, she becomes a woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding, and she prays and fasts and does everything. The answer is clear, if Allah wills. Please, go ahead.
