Duty of One Who Sees Lochia Longer Than the Duration of Her Menstrual Cycle
Issue No.493- If a woman who menstruates for less than ten days every month, sees lochia for more than ten days, she should consider the time equal to the duration of her menstruation as nifās and as an obligatory precaution, abandon all acts of worship until the tenth day. If however, the lochia exceeds ten days, only the time equal to the duration of her menstruation should be considered as nifās and the rest as istiḥāḍah. Therefore, she must perform the acts of worship abandoned during these few days as qaḍā.
