Woman following a tuhr cycle every month

4 years ago By user2

Q:

1. Do women have to follow their tuhr cycle every month? I do not have a fixed tuhr period. Some months it is 20 days, 21 days, then another month 16 days. I may get a same tuhr period for two months sometimes. But most of the time it is unfixed. For years I am counting my periods like this - if I get a bleeding after 15 days from the last period, I treat it as period. Can you please tell if this is the correct way of calculating periods or do I have to follow my previous month’s tuhr period?

2. Almost a year ago. it happened that I forgot my habit of period. I forgot how many days it was. After much contemplation, I felt that my habit was 8 days. Since then, I have been practicing upon it. Is that correct?

Calculating haidh for a woman who has never experienced a minimum of 15 complete days of tuhr

Q: I am confused regarding my haidh. Please advise.

I get haidh consisting of red blood for around 7-8 days each month. The rest of the month I get a discharge (varying between clear, white and yellow, most of the time it is yellow).

I used to consider my haidh as 10 days (the 7 or 8 days of blood and 2 or 3 days of discharge). Then I would make a ghusl and make wudhu for every salaah thereafter until I see blood again.

I do not get my haidh on the same days of the month (i.e. a few days before or after the last date). For the past 5 years, my haidh has been like this. I used to get my haidh for two years prior to these 5 years, but unfortunately I did not record my cycle (I think it was the same like the 5 years).

Below is the days I've recorded as haidh for the past year in the manner as stated above:

2019 
- 8 Oct - 18 Oct
- 11 Nov - 21 Nov
- 17 Dec - 27 Dec

2020

- 17 Jan - 27 Jan
- 11 Feb - 21 Feb
- 21 Mar - 31 Mar
-27 Apr - 6 May
- 31 May- 10 Jun
- 1 Jul - 11 Jul
- 31 Jul - 10 Aug

Please advise.

Making qadha if haidh started during a salaah time

4 years ago By user2

Q:

1. My menstruation cycle is regular in the sense that I have 14 clean days, 1 day istihaza and 10 days haiz. It's the same every time. So it starts at 4.43pm. I am usually always alert about performing my asr salaah before the time of haiz starts. Unfortunately today I was unwell earlier and had to sleep and over slept and only awoke after the time of haiz began. Will this asr Salaah be considered as qaza?

2. As a saahib tartib if I make ghusl and I have only enough time to perform the fard salaah and not the qazaa. When do I read the qazaa?

Woman getting pregnant with another man's child during iddat and aborting the child

Q: Can you please help me with the Islamic ruling on the following:

1. If a woman in her iddah falls pregnant from another man during her iddah through adultery, how does that affect her iddah? She was not pregnant at the time the talaaq was given. She has not had relations with her husband at all for 4 months before the talaaq was given and neither after (they slept in different bedrooms). She had one menstrual cycle during the iddah and fell pregnant in month 2 with another man's child. This was the second talaaq as the husband issued one talaaq on a previous occassion but took her back during the iddah period. How will she proceed with the iddah?

2. If she aborts, how does that affect the iddah?
