Fathwa, - She gets mini periods after hysterectomy

Question
Aoa, my name is Sadia Erfan and Im from UK. I had A surgery called "
Subtotal abdominal hysterectomy ) of uterus (". I had a prolapsed
uterus since my first daughter was born 13 years ago. So uterus was
taken out and the neck of the uterus was repaired via
"Sacrocolpopexy". At the time of the surgery doctors told me my
periods would stop. But after 2 months I got very weak periods like
bleedings every month. I went back to the doctor and he said that
because the neck of the uterus is still there and that has some
tissues, light bleeding can occur monthly. It is called mini period.
Im concerned about my salah and fasting. Technically I dont have a
uterus, but still the ovaries. What shall I do? Continue praying while
bleedeing or treating this as normal periods and not pray? Please help
me! Jazak-illah
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
According to the view of most scholars, the minimum period of menses
is one day and one night. So, if this bleeding which you see is less
than one day and one night, then it is not considered as menses
according to the view of most scholars and this is the view we adopt
here in Islamweb.
However, some scholars are of the view that there is no minimum period
for menses, so according to this view, you should consider the
bleeding that you see as menses even if it is little. Based on this,
to be on the safe side, it is better to perform Ghusl after this
bleeding stops even if its period is less than one day and one night
in order to avoid the difference of opinion.
Allaah Knows best.
