When One Doubts Whether Her Istiḥāḍah Is Qalīlah or Kathīrah
Issue No.412- If a woman does not know whether her istiḥāḍah is qalīlah or kathīrah she should check herself before prayer as an obligatory precaution, and if she cannot, she should, as an obligatory precaution, observe the rules of both qalīlah and kathīrah istiḥāḍahs. However, if she knows what her previous state of istiḥāḍah was, be it qalīlah or kathīrah, she can keep acting according to the rules prescribed for that kind of istiḥāḍah.
