Woman Bleeding Whilst Fasting

· 21 Shaʻban 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I had a period of 7 days. I was bleeding on my 7th day but bleeding stopped by sehri of the 8th day. I took ghusal and started fasting but during the day, I bled little bit. I performed wudhu, cleaned my private place, kept roza, and read namaaz. Please explain to me if my roza broke or not? Do I have to take a shower again?

Answer

The fast of any day where a woman bleeds from haidh is not valid. Hence, the same will apply to the eighth day as well.
