Explanation of what is obligatory for a menstruating woman if she becomes pure after the dawn in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q129: The questioner says: If a woman is menstruating in Ramadan, or if she is in the final period of post-natal bleeding and becomes pure from it after the dawn on one of the days of Ramadan, is she required to complete the fast for that day or not? And what is required of her if she takes a bath and begins fasting, and then something of that appears after the usual period of menstruation and post-natal bleeding? Does she break her fast, or does that not affect her?
Vol. 129: As for the first point of the question, which is: if a menstruating woman or a woman in post-natal bleeding becomes pure during the day, she must take a bath, pray, and abstain for the rest of the day, then make up that day at another time; this is what is obligatory for her. As for the second point: if her blood from menstruation or post-natal bleeding stops, then she takes a bath, and then she sees something afterward. As for the menstruating woman, if her customary period has been completed and her blood has stopped completely, then she takes a bath, and then she sees something afterward, she should not pay attention to it; due to the statement of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her):Bulugh al-Maram 143 and she should not pay attention to that. As for the woman in post-natal bleeding; if her blood stops
before the completion of forty days, then she takes a bath, and then something returns to her; then she is considered to be in post-natal bleeding, and what returned is considered part of the post-natal bleeding, with which fasting and prayer are not valid as long as it exists; because it returned during the period of post-natal bleeding. As for if it returns after she has completed the forty days and taken a bath, and then something appears to her, she should not pay attention to it, except if this coincides with the days of her customary period before the post-natal bleeding. The result is: that this necessarily requires detail. If the customary period of the menstruating woman is completed, then she takes a bath, and then she sees something afterward, she should not pay attention to it. If her customary period has not been completed, then she sees purity during the customary period, then she takes a bath, and then it returns to her, she considers it menstruation; because it came to her during the customary period. And likewise the woman in post-natal bleeding, if it returns to her during the period of forty days; then it is considered post-natal bleeding. And if something returns to her after the completion of the forty days; then she does not consider it anything; except if it coincides with the days of her menstruation before the post-natal bleeding.

After we were pure, we did not consider the yellow or muddy discharge to be anything
