Irregular bleeding

· 11 Rabiʻ II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I started my period on 24th September and it’s been 12 days now and it’s still spotting so is it counted as period or istihadha? I am 49 years old and I also started premenopause so my period is not always regular. It is like it comes for a few months then it stops for a few months but recently it’s been coming on since 3 months. I am confused if I start praying namaz or not.

Answer

In this case you will count the haidh according to your last habit of haidh. The rest of the bleeding will be regarded as istihaadhah.

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