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

\n\tAssalamualaikum<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tI have a question regarding menstruation and Istih\u0101da in the case when a woman bleeds, then exceeds the max of 10 days (as per the Hanafi school). I have found the contemporary Hanafi Fuqah\u0101 apply two methods.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMethod A:
\n\t1<\/span><\/span>.When<\/span><\/span> bleeding occurs without the min of 15 days <\/span><\/span>tuhr<\/span><\/span> in between it is considered <\/span><\/span>istihada<\/span><\/span>, up and till the 15 <\/span><\/span>days<\/span><\/span><\/span> min is complete, after which any bleeding is considered <\/span><\/span>haidh<\/span><\/span>.
\n\tE.g. a woman bled from the 29th to the 31st of May 2017 then stopped. Blood returned again on the 8th June 2017. This <\/span>would <\/span>be <\/span>istihada<\/span> until the 15th June, after which the bleeding would be considered <\/span><\/span>haidh<\/span><\/span> since the min of 15 days <\/span><\/span>tuhr<\/span><\/span> has occurred.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\t2. When bleeding exceeds the max of 10 days, the woman refers back to her last month's habit. E.g. last month she bled for 8 days. This month she bled for 11 days so as soon as she goes over the10 day max, she refers back to last month in which case 8 days will <\/span>be <\/span><\/span>haidh<\/span><\/span> and 3 days <\/span><\/span>istihaada<\/span><\/span>.
\n\tSo this method applies <\/span><\/span>only<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tthe<\/span> <\/span>haidh<\/span> habit. As for the <\/span>tuhr<\/span>, a fixed number of 15 days is applied.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMethod B: Imam Birgive's Method
\n\tHowever, there is a Hanafi Fiqh book by Imam Birgivi (translated into English by Sr. Hedaya Hartford and Ashraf Muneeb) which shows a different method of calculation.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile maintaining the <\/span>haidh<\/span> habit, they also maintain the <\/span>tuhr<\/span> habit. So when bleeding exceeds the max of ten, or bleeding occurs without there being a min of 15 days <\/span>tuhr<\/span>, BOTH the <\/span>haidh<\/span> habit and the Tuhr habit is applied.
\n\tE.g. in the above example (refer to no. 1 above), say a woman has a 3<\/span>day <\/span>haidh<\/span> habit and <\/span>20 day<\/span> <\/span>tuhr<\/span> habit. When blood returned on 8th June, it would be considered Istihada [Both methods agree on this].<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever<\/span> instead of saying that the blood after 15th of June is automatically <\/span>haidh<\/span>, they will apply the <\/span>tuhr<\/span> habit of 20th days, and say any blood AFTER the 20th June will be <\/span>haidh<\/span>. The blood from the 15th to the 20th even though has occurred after the min of 15 days <\/span>tuhr<\/span>, is still <\/span>istihada<\/span> since it is before her <\/span>tuhr<\/span> habit.  
\n\tThis method applies <\/span>both <\/span>the <\/span>haidh<\/span> and the <\/span>tuhr<\/span> habit.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tDifferent Method = Different Results<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tSo as you can see applying the straight forward rule of "anything after 15 days tuhr <\/span>is<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\thaidh<\/span>" which method one applies gives a different result in terms of which days are <\/span>haidh<\/span> and which are <\/span>istihada<\/span> from the method of Imam Birgivi which says to apply the <\/span>tuhr<\/span> habit in such cases.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2)  Is there
\n\t1) which method is correct?
\n\tQuestions-<\/span><\/span>ikhtilaf<\/span><\/span> within the Hanafi School on this? The translation of that Risalah (Birigive's Manual Interpreted) calls the first method "incorrect". (Method A seems easier from fatwa point of view whereas Method B is more difficult)
\n\t3) Are there any sources which back up both methods?<\/span><\/span>
\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u0628\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0645\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0645\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062d\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0645<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the sake of brevity and ease, we will mention the preferred view.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t– Haid<\/em> (menstruation) is of three days minimum and 10 days maximum.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t– Tuhr<\/em> (purity period) is of 15 days minimum with no maximum.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA <\/span>woman<\/span> who <\/span>experiences<\/span> bleeding for a duration, less or more than the stipulated period above, is considered to be in Istihada<\/em>.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe is generally from among two types:-<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1. Mubtadi’ah<\/em> (one with an irregular occurrence): A woman who has completed 10 days <\/span>haidh<\/span><\/em> but whose blood has not stopped. She will be considered to be <\/span>ma’dhoor<\/span><\/em> (excused) and will make wudu<\/em> for every salah <\/em>during the irregular bleeding.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2. Mu’tadah<\/em> (one with a habitual occurrence): A woman who has a fixed menstrual cycle every month. She will be considered to be <\/span>ma’dhoor<\/span><\/em> (excused) after her regular menstrual cycle and will make wudu<\/em> for every salah <\/em>during the irregular bleeding.[1]<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t<\/a> <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd Allah SWT alone knows best.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
