Q:
A woman may notice a flow of blood at the usual time of her menstruation, then the blood stops and she gets completely purified from her menstruation for two days, then she notices that blood starts to flow again. Is the blood she notices on the first two days deemed menstrual blood? Should she offer Salah (Prayer) then?
A:
All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions.
The blood she noticed on these two days, at menstruation time, is menstrual blood. She should wait during them for it is impermissible to offer Salah on these days. As for the other two days on which she saw that she was in a state of purity, Salah must be observed during them after taking Ghusl (ritual bath). As for the last two days on which the bleeding returned, she should stop offering Salah, because it is menstrual blood.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
