Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a woman’s menstruation is intermittent.
The Shaykh : The jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) say: If a woman sees blood one day and purity the next, the blood is menstruation and the purity is a state of ritual purity. Yes?
The questioner : Does she pray every day?
The Shaykh : She prays every day and also performs the full ritual bath. This is difficult, but some scholars say that this intermittency is considered part of the menstruation, meaning that she does not pray.
The questioner : Does she remain in that state for its duration?
The Shaykh : And she remains in that state until it stops completely, and then she prays.
