Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a very irregular cycle in which I spot on my 11th clean day normally or sometime before my 15 clean days between cycles. <\/span>My pattern over the past 6 months I would say is that on my 17th clean day my cycle begins (spotting still occurs before this) m<\/span>y days last for 9 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This month on my 11th & 12th clean days I had red flow but not being by time <\/span>on the 17th clean day no flow like normal but spotting but present throughout my 9 days (the last 3 days I had a slight flow but also not like normal). <\/span>After the 9 days I have a full flow which is now more like my haidh. <\/span>I’m just making sure if I am considered paak with a full flow at the moment. <\/span>I have made ghusl and reading salaah, making wudhu at each salaah.<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From what is understood, your regular habit is 9 days of menstruation followed by 17 days of purity. However, in this month, you experienced bleeding on the 11th and 12th days of the cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To give a more accurate ruling, additional and clearer information is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based on the information provided, it’s important to note that any spotting, regardless of its color, can be considered haidh (menstruation). Since you mentioned seeing spotting before completing 17 full days of purity, that detail is crucial and must be clarified, as it may affect whether the purity period is valid.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assuming a complete 17 days of purity, the scenario would be as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n
