Question:

 

Below are someone’s dates. The spotting on the 9th is still continuing today. She’s wondering if she can perform Umrah today (the 20th) or not.

 

Nov 4 – 9 — Period

Nov 10 — Clean

Nov 25 – 30 — Period

Dec 1 — Clean

Dec 7 – Dec 10 — Period

Dec 11 – Clean

Dec 21 – Dec 25 Period

Dec 26 – Clean

Jan 9 – Only brown spots

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

 

Haidh is considered to be a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 10 days. Anything less than 3 days and more than 10 days will be considered istihaadha.

 

The minimum number of days of purity between your period is 15 days. (1).

 

Therefore, from December 30th to Jan 7th, it was insufficient time for purity. Till Dec 13th, the bleeding was istihaadha. The bleeding till 23rd December is Haidh. The 24th Day of December is Istihaadha as the days of Haidh are calculated as 24 hours. From January 7th, Haidh bleeding resumes and so the bleeding on the 9th is Haidh.

أي في حق المبتدأة ، أما المعتادة (قوله والزائد على أكثره) فما زاد على عادتها ويجاوز العشرة في الحيض والأربعين في النفاس يكون استحاضة كما أشار إليه بقوله أو على العادة إلخ .أما إذا لم يتجاوز الأكثر فيهما ، فهو انتقال للعادة فيهما ، فيكون حيضا ونقاشا رخمتي

بين الخيضتين أو النفاس والحيض (خمسة عشر (أقل الظهر) يوما) ولياليها إجماعا (ولا حد لأكثره)
