Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * She purified herself following her menses then she saw some drops of blood

Share

After a woman purified herself, she started to see some small drops of blood. Should she break her fast and stop praying, or what should she do?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Women’s problems with their menses are endless, and one of the causes of that is their use of contraceptive pills and pills used to prevent menstruation.
People never used to face such problems before. It is true that there have always been some problems since the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came and since women were created, but this situation where people are so confused is something regrettable. However, the basic principle is that if a woman becomes pure (her period ends) and she sees the tuhr (white discharge) which signals that her period has indeed ended, then any brownish or yellowish discharge that she sees after that, or any drops or wetness, is not menses, so it does not prevent her form praying, fasting or having intercourse with her husband, because it is not menses.
Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “We used not to regard the yellowish or brownish discharge after the tuhr as anything important.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari. Abu Dawood added the phrase “after the tuhr”. Its isnaad is saheeh.
Based on this we say: Everything that happens after the definite tuhr does not affect the woman and it does not prevent her from praying, fasting and having intercourse with her husband. But she should not be in a hurry to see the tuhr because some women, when the flow becomes lighter, hasten to do ghusl before seeing the tuhr. Hence the women of the Sahaabah used to send pieces of cotton to the Mother of the Believers ‘Aa’ishah on which there were traces of yellow, and she would say to them: “Do not hasten until you see the white discharge.”

Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * Her periods stopped but a little bit of blood that waspale in colour came out

I took a contraceptive injection and my periods stopped, but every few days a bit of blood that is pale in colour comes out. Is the fast of that day invalidated? Do I have to do ghusl, or is wudoo’ sufficient?.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to the ruling on contraceptive injections, we have already answered this question. Please see question no. 21169.
With regard to the ruling on the drops of pale-coloured blood every few days, it seems that this is not menstruation, so it does not mean that you cannot pray and fast, and it does not require ghusl. Rather it is sufficient to do wudoo’.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked the following question:
If a few drops of blood come out of a woman during the day in Ramadaan, and that bleeding continues throughout Ramadaan and she is fasting, is her fast valid?
He replied:
Yes, her fast is valid. These few drops do not mean anything, as they come from a vein (and they are not menstrual blood). It was narrated that ‘Ali ibn Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “These drops that are like a nosebleed are not menstruation.” This is what was narrated from him (may Allaah be pleased with him).

Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * If the bleeding lasts for more than 15 days is it still regarded as menstruation, and can she fast?

I jst want to know that i have menhorrehia and my periods are irregular if i go over 10 or 15 days am i allowed to pray or not?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is no definitive evidence in sharee’ah to prove the minimum or maximum length of menses. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked: Is there a definitive number of days for the minimum or maximum length of menses?
He replied:
There is no definitive number of days for the minimum or maximum length of menses, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses), therefore, keep away from women during menses and go not unto them till they are purified (from menses and have taken a bath)”
[al-Baqarah 2:222]
So Allaah did not make the period of abstention a certain number of days, rather He stated that the period of abstention ends when the woman becomes pure. This indicates that the reason for the ruling is menstruation, and whether it is present or not. When menstruation is present, the ruling applies, and when the period ends the attendant rulings no longer apply. Moreover there is no evidence for putting a time limit on menses, even though there was a need (at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) to explain the definition if any such definition had existed. If there was such a definition, it would have been explained in the Book of Allaah or the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Based on this, every time a woman sees the kind of blood which is known to women as being menstrual blood, then it is menstrual blood without that being restricted to a certain time, unless the bleeding is continuous and never stops, or it stops only for a short time such as one or two days in the month, in which case it is istihaadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding).
Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 11/271
Based on this, it is not permissible for you to pray except after the period has ended and you have done ghusl (full ablution). The ending of menstruation may be known from one of two signs: either the emission of a white discharge which comes at the end of the period, or by total cessation of bleeding.
And Allaah knows best.
