The Duration of Purity and Menstruation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks: What is the duration of purity?
Answer:
The correct view is that there is no fixed limit for purity, nor is there a fixed limit for menstruation. However, the common occurrence is that menstruation lasts six or seven days, and the common occurrence is that purity lasts twenty-three or twenty-four days. This is the most common case. If she menstruates for six days, her purity becomes twenty-four days; if she menstruates for seven days, her purity becomes twenty-three days. This is the most common case, because it may increase or decrease.
So there is no fixed limit. If her custom is ten days of menstruation and a month of purity, there is nothing wrong with that, or even more. Some women may have their period once in two or three months, or once a year. There is no fixed limit for this. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
