Bleeding for less than three days

· 11 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a lady has periods for only 1-2 days and then her bleeding stops... Should she take bath after 3-4 days or should wait for 7 days?

Answer

If her bleeding stops and does not recommence within 15 days, she will regard the bleeding as istihaazah. A woman does not have to have ghusal due to istihaazah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
