The ruling on menstrual blood if it is not regular?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The first question concerns my family: A woman’s menstrual cycle has a known time, and women know it. If a little menstrual blood comes down on the first day, then stops on the second day for the full duration of the five prayers, and then continues in its normal state on the third day, does she have to make up that day, or is it included in the days of menstruation?
The Shaykh : Yes, some of the scholars of knowledge (may Allah have mercy on them) say that this slight interruption, meaning one day out of seven days, is nothing; its ruling is the ruling of menstruation, because it is customary for many women to experience dryness during menstruation, and it is attached to it.
And some scholars say: No, if she becomes pure on a day, she performs the full ritual bath and prays, and if menstruation comes to her, she stops. This involves hardship without a doubt, meaning if a woman were to have two days of menstruation and one day of purity, and two days of menstruation and one day of purity, there is hardship in performing the full ritual bath six or seven times in one menstrual period. The correct view is that its ruling is the ruling of menstruation.
The questioner : The second question: Many of the homes of Muslims among us have been afflicted by the presence of the television inside the house under the pretext of knowing world news and events in the lands of Muslims and what happens to them, and it contains the harms it contains. Now the satellite or dish has entered under the pretext of expanding the knowledge of world news and so on. And if a person strives to remove it from his home, the children and wife must object, and they find it in the father’s house or the grandfather’s house or the uncle’s house!
