When One Sees Blood for More Than Her Menstrual Period
Issue No.473- If a woman with a numeric fixed period sees blood for more than her menstrual period and it exceeds ten days, if the nature of the blood remains the same throughout the period, she should count her menstrual period from the day bleeding began for the number of days of her period, and the rest is considered as istiḥāḍah. If however, the blood has the signs of ḥayḍ for some days, she should consider only the regular duration of her menstrual period as ḥayḍ, whether the number of days in which the blood bears the signs of ḥayḍ is more than the regular duration of her menstrual period or less. However, the rest should be considered as istiḥāḍah.
