Types of Istiḥāḍah
Issue No.404- Istiḥāḍah is of two kinds only: qalīlah (little) and kathīrah (excessive). If a woman places cotton in her private part and blood remains on the surface of the cotton wool but does not come out from its other side, whether it penetrates it or not, it is qalīlah. And if the blood penetrates the cotton and passes through it and flows, it is called kathīrah.
