Irregular Bleeding, Less or More Than Ten Days
Issue No.462- If a woman who has a regular period sees blood for three days or more and then the bleeding stops and after a while which is less than ten days, the bleeding starts again, if the total number of days in between (including the days she sees no blood) does not exceed ten days, all of it is ḥayḍ (but during the middle period in which the bleeding had ceased, she is considered to be ṭāhir). However, if the period in between exceeds ten days, the blood that was discharged in the days of her menstrual period is ḥayḍ and the rest is considered as istiḥāḍah. In case however, neither of them was in the days of her menstrual period, the blood which had the signs of ḥayḍ is regarded as ḥayḍ and the other is considered as istiḥāḍah, and if both had the signs of ḥayḍ, ten days of bleeding should be regarded as ḥayḍ and the extra following days should be taken as istiḥāḍah.
