Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Woman experiencing bleeding within 15 days after haidh

Q: Mufti Saheb is this correct:

1. A female bled for seven days. Her habit is usually 9 days. She again bleeds within fifteen days. She will count nine days as haidh from the first day of bleeding.

2. If she bleeds for one or two days, and then bleeds again AFTER ten clean days have passed (from the first day of bleeding) when must she count haidh from? (Will eight days be counted as haidh from the first bleeding day and the second actual bleeding will be istihaadha?

3. Will it change if she bleeds after staying clean for fifteen days?)

Irregular bleeding after IUCD

Q: I got a procedure of IUCD for contraception on July 1, 2019. It was important as per doctors instruction due to some medicines with which I cannot conceive at the moment. The gynaecologist said that in the start I will face some extra/heavy bleeding or irregular spotting due to this.

My previous routine of periods was 8 days except for Ramadhaan i.e. 9 days. My old dates for 2019 were

17 Jan - 25 Jan
12 Feb - 20 Feb
11 March - 19 March
7 April - 15 April
2 May - 11 May
30 May - 7 June
Important one (25 June - 5 July)

My questions are:

1. I took a bath after 10 days completion in my last cycle i.e 25 June to 5 July due to spotting as maximum days for periods are 10 days but still I got spotting for 3 more days. I offered my salaah and Quran. Was this calculation ok?

2. I started spotting again on 16 July but as per my last cycle, there wasn't a gap of 15 days in between two cycles. I am still having light spotting plus bleeding. I am offering salaah and Quraan with fresh wudhu everytime. Am I correct?

3. If in the last cycle I consider it to be 8 days then 25 June - 3 July then after 18 days of habit I must be having periods on 21 July, so what should I do? How would I calculate that either its istihaaza or periods? 

Brown discharge during the days of haidh

Q: With regards to haidh. My cycle is not set and changes almost all the time. I usually get 9/10 days of haidh and 15 clean days. During my clean days I have some days of pinkish discharge and/or blood and/or clear discharge with brown discharge.

My last haidh cycle I had bleeding for only 8 days. The 9th day was clean, no discharge. On the 10th day I got clear discharge with brown discharge just before my days of haidh ended. Will this be regarded as haidh or istihaaza?

Will bleeding when taking a contraceptive pill be regarded as haidh?

Q: In sharia, is menstrual bleeding defined as blood that comes from the uterus, regardless of how it was caused? Because the contraceptive pill stops my body’s natural hormones and instead, the bleeding that occurs is caused by the medication and not by my body’s natural processes.

In both cases, the blood is from the uterus, but with the pill it is caused artifically, and without the pill it is caused naturally. So is the blood caused by taking the pill haidh or istihaada?

Seeing a coloured discharge three days before one's haidh

Q: It was the time of my period and I got a peach discharge, it wasn't a dark peach. So I asked my teacher and she said that it is my period. (I don’t get any colour discharge during my tuhur period). so I took it as my period, I never discharged more of this colour, I discharged clear and white. I only started bleeding 3 days after I saw the peach discharge. Please advise whether the 3 days in which I saw nothing was actually my period, or did my period only start when I started bleeding. This happened during Ramadhaan.
