Example of Haidh Cycle Remaining Unchanged Due to Less Than 15 Clean Days

Last updated on November 7th, 2024 at 03:15 am

1. A woman has a regular cycle of haidh on the first three days of every month.
2. Then one month she had bleeding on the first of the month followed by 14 days of no bleeding.
3. Then she had one day of bleeding.
4. In this example it is as if for 16 days there was non-stop bleeding.
5. Now the first 3 days are her haidh days, and 13 days are istihaadhah.

What To Do in the Above Case

1. In the above example, prior to the 16th day it cannot be said how many days are her haidh and how many are istihaadhah.
2. When the bleeding commenced then she would have stopped performing Namaaz, as outwardly, this bleeding seems to be of haidh in view of it coinciding with her cycle.
3. After one day when the bleeding stopped, there were two possibilities: One is that she was in haidh, and the other possibility is that the single day of bleeding was istihaadhah.
4. Since she is not certain of her being in the state of haidh or istihaadhah, she has to make the Qadha of that day (the day she bled) and read all her Namaaz as normal.
5. After 14 days when the bleeding resumed, it became clear that the first day of bleeding was in fact haidh.
6. In this scenario, the Namaaz of the first 3 days fall away.
7. Now, if she had a ghusl after 3 days, then the subsequent Salaats she performed are all valid.
8. And if she did not have a ghusl after the initial 3 days, then she has to make Qadha of the 13 days.
9. Thereafter she should not leave out any Salaat due to the bleeding on 16^th day.
10. She should have a ghusl, if she did not as yet have one, and perform her Salaat.
11. All the days (16) will be taken to be istihaadhah.
