Q: I’ve been having irregular periods ever since the first time I got it, 3 years ago. I get the brown spottings/discharge which I am told is considered as my period. Recently I got my period regularly for two months in a row. Till last month which I did not get it at all. I then got the spottings at the end of October and beginning of November and considered that my period. After those 10 days were over, I got my actual blood period 8 days later last Saturday.
My question is which one is considered my period? And do I not pray my salah for this period and make Qadha for all the missed ones last time or consider this as haiz and pray my Salah’s while I’m on my blood period right now?
A: If in the previous two months you experienced bleeding for less than 10 days and you were totally clean thereafter for more than 15 days then the number of days that you bled for in the last month will be your routine. Hence, you will count your haidh from the time the spotting started for the duration of the last haidh and the remaining days will be counted as istihaadhah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
