A woman had a drop of menstrual blood come out of her at the time of her usual monthly period, and this was before the midday prayer, so she did not pray the midday prayer even though the blood had stopped?

The questioner : One of the sisters says, of course, regarding menstrual blood, that a drop of menstrual blood came out of her on the same day her period usually arrives, and this happened before the midday prayer, so she did not pray the midday prayer even though the blood had stopped; just one drop, and then it stopped.

The Shaykh : Okay, when is her usual time?

The questioner : Sixteen days into the month.

The Shaykh : Okay, regarding the midday and afternoon prayers, when is her usual time?

The questioner : You just said it.

The questioner : On the same day, but I do not know the time.

The Shaykh : Midday, or afternoon, or sunset, or night?

The questioner : I do not know the usual time.

The Shaykh : So we do not know the day.

The questioner : So we must know the time?

The Shaykh : We only see her testimony. Is her testimony during the time of purity, which is her usual time, or during the time of menstruation, which is her usual time? Because it is attached to the time. If it is the time of purity, it does not matter. If it is the time of menstruation, it is the beginning of menstruation.

The questioner : Yes, like the end of menstruation, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
