Q: I would like to clarify whether the following mas’alah is correct:
If a particular woman has a haidh habit of 7 days and 3 days after the expected date of her haidh she began bleeding and she bled until the end of the 12 days then in this case 4 days will be regarded as haidh and the remainder as istihaadha. Thus from the following month her new habit will be 4 days. For example a woman has a habit of bleeding from the 1st to the 7th of every month. During a particular month she bled from the 4th until the 15th. Thus the first 4 days i.e. from the 4th to the 7th, will be regarded as haidh and the remainder will be istihaadha. Thus qadha will be necessary for the days of istihaadha.
