The claim that menstrual blood does not clot, so how was she commanded to scrape it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does the statement by some doctors that menstrual blood does not clot contradict this hadith?
The Shaykh : How is that?
The questioner : Because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The Shaykh : If it dries, may Allah reward you, it has no substance, meaning it did not clot and did not require scraping.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, if it dries, it clots.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : I do not know the difference between drying and clotting.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : But do you affirm this now?
The questioner : Yes, I affirm it.
The Shaykh : That menstrual blood does not clot?
The questioner : It does not clot, that is correct.
The Shaykh : It never clots?
The questioner : It does not clot, but I mean if it is free from water and moisture, it dries out and becomes dry, but we do not say it clots. As for the usual blood that comes out of the veins, it dries on its own due to clotting factors.
The Shaykh : Fine, we would like the hadith not to contradict medicine.
The questioner : They say this because the clotting factors...
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, this is what we want.
The Shaykh : How is that?
The questioner : Because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Scrape it
