So reading from
the.
And we have arrived with the chapter dealing
with or
those legal rulings pertaining to menstruation.
And by way of addition, also postpartum,
bleeding.
The relevant chapter in the, the book we
have been reading from, is very brief.
And I think due to the,
the importance
and
need for this to be explained in a
little bit more detail,
I'm gonna read it from the original text,
which is,
which is what this book is supposed to
be a key to, actually.
Where it has, I think, enough detail to
be more,
practical in terms of what we can learn
from it and its application,
especially, obviously,
for for for women who have to,
this is a permanent issue for them.
So,
So,
he defines what
menstrual blood is.
And the reason he does this because he
wants to talk about it in terms of
what it means for Islamic practice, not just
not a scientific definition,
which we can talk about, but
what does it mean in terms of your
permanent legal rulings are gonna come to apply
to it.
So he says it's,
menstrual blood or restoration
is, which is blood. In other words, he
means red.
Or yellow,
which would be sort of brownish reddish or
somewhere in that spectrum.
Came out or eggs or is ex excreted
in of itself from
the,
from a private area of someone who
can normally
get pregnant. So he's talking about a woman.
And the reason he says it this way
is because
there are going to be certain classes of
females who this is not pertinent to.
So a very young girl,
and usually they say
anything other than 9 years of age
can't really start menstruating until about 9 or
so. That's why we're the the earliest. So
if she has vaginal bleeding,
5, 6, 7 years of age,
then we would probably say it's not menstrual
blood. It might be some sort of
a cut or disease or or something of
that sort, but not not menstrual blood. So
then the the rules pertaining
to menstrual blood are not going to be
pertinent here.
And they said the same thing for someone
who's quite old who stopped having a period,
which would be someone certainly 70 years of
age and above.
And they said proronin was between 50 70,
then that's something
upon medical advice.
They can tell her whether she's still getting
her periods or she's not getting her periods
anymore. And then anyone less than 50,
the, the assumption is that they're still getting
their period. So that's why I said,
So one who is able to get pregnant.
In other words, a woman or or girl
who's who has started to,
you know, her ovaries start to be released
and then that's what leads to the menstrual
cycle. So she can,
she has the ability to get pregnant is
what he's talking about.
Khaled Jevinefsihi.
Alright. Khaled Jevinefsihi means
that it comes out and of itself, not
due to a cut,
not due to an operation, not due to
some sort of treatment or medication somebody might
be taking that causes them to bleed in
that way. So
something that's, for a regular menstrual cycle and
not anything besides that.
So that's why this is
to help.
So blood that flows from, the vaginal area
that's
due to some other reason that is not
going to be considered for our purposes here
in terms of legal rulings, menstrual blood. Why
is that important? Because
fasting, praying,
are going to be
connected to this issue. So when a woman
is having her and we'll read about this
later, when a woman's having her menstrual cycle,
she's not required to fast nor is she
supposed to fast.
And she's not required to pray nor is
she supposed to pray.
So if we determine that it's actually not
menstrual blood and that it's something due to
a sickness, then at that point, we'd say
she would still fast and she would still
pray.
Otherwise, we would say it is part of
the menstrual cycle. So the main point we're
gonna be seeing here is determining the beginning
and end of the menstrual cycle
so we can determine when she needs to
start fasting and praying again,
and also,
to, determine the length of it, which which
follows in terms of how
how to determine the beginning and the,
and the end of it. And there are
other rule rulings that come about. So it's
praying fasting and also it comes up in
the case of
waiting period and divorce
because it's done by for a divorced woman
who's not pregnant, it will be done by
a number of menstrual cycles. So it's important
to know when they begin and when they
end in order to determine her waiting period
and then when we can determine
when her divorce becomes finalized or still not
finalized yet. So all those rulings are dependent
upon
the, the beginning of the menstrual cycle.
So
the minimum amount
you know, what is the shortest period
that a woman can have? Well, there's gonna
be 2 things here. Something called
and then.
So
means in terms of her ritual worship.
So he says the minimum could be dafat.
It could be just a drop.
And then she has a drop and then
she's not bleeding anymore. Then that's that's her
menstrual cycle. For some people, that might be
the case. Then in this case,
she's to,
we'll get to this later. She's to do
the Torah
bath
and, to pray and to fast and and
everything else that she's doing from from before.
That's in terms of.
In terms of, it has to be at
least a day.
So even if she gets a drop that
day, we're not gonna say that her menstrual
cycle is confirmed except
we wanna see it count as the whole
day. So that whole day would count as
a period in terms of how we're counting
for,
the number of waiting,
number of periods for the waiting period for
the divorce.
What is the maximum? So we determine the
minimum
in the two scenarios
for
for a virtual worship and for
determining, waiting period.
So there's gonna be different categories of
the types of women in terms of how
long the maximum can be. So a woman
or this is probably a young girl who
gets it for the first time.
There has to be a ruling because what
does she do the first time? She needs
to determine the maximum that it can be.
And there's gonna be someone who's had more
than one cycle. That's called a,
who's already had a a menstrual cycle. And
then according to the manicure, and I believe,
medical,
science backs this up, that a woman can
also have a period even while she's pregnant.
So then that will be also
a different ruling for the one who is
pregnant and she has a menstrual cycle. So
he's covering the first one here.
In other words, I've gone against it the
first time.
Is half a month, which means 15 days.
That's the maximum.
For,
someone who is getting the period their first
time.
But she doesn't have what's called an.
She doesn't have a regular length. Most women
will have regular cycle. So it'll be, like,
6 days, 7 days, 5 days, within a
day or 2 of that.
But for the first time, you don't know
what that is. So the maximum it can
be then would be
15 days,
which is also
the minimum
time for purity as well. In other words,
what's the minimum time between periods
is what it's
saying. So 15 days
just like the maximum period can be 15
days. So that means
literally for any particular woman, the maximum amount
of time that she is going to be
on her period
in any month is half the month maximum,
not more than
that. Except for the Hammond, except for the
pregnant woman, it's gonna be a little bit
longer. But for someone who's not in that
situation,
maximum of 15 days.
And,
this will come up later, but the Medici
school allows for a woman to
recite the Quran even when she's having her
period, which the other schools have fought,
frowned upon.
And it's a mimetic was, quoted to have
said,
a woman is gonna spend half her life
not being able to read the Quran
because the maximum is half the life. So
he said, how is that possible that half
her life she can't read the Quran?
So he was, masha Allah,
a good man.
Well, for the comment about that, don't wanna
get in trouble with that chef. I had
a few friends.
So,
so 15 days maximum.
So what happens
if she bleeds 16 days?
We would say then the 16th day, this
is for the one who's getting her period
the first time, that the 16th day of
of menstrual blood, she's not having her period
still according to the Sharia.
Right? According to the Sharia. Or doctor may
say something else
but according to the sharia, we're gonna stop
it at 15 days and then the blood
that comes after that we're gonna call it
istihala.
Istihala means
menstrual,
blood flow other than
being a cause of menstruation.
And that has a different ruling.
That ruling is you still supposed to pray
and to fast and it's, can, resume,
conjugal relations with with her husband.
So all of those things then will be
applicable because now even though she's literally still
bleeding, but it's not menstrual blood anymore. Once
the 15 day
maximum for the one was for the first
time,
is happening.
What about the one who's already had a
number of cycles? So we have the first
time.
Then we have the
someone who's already had 1 or 2, whatever
number, more than 1.
What is her maximum?
Her maximum is going to be 3 days
more
than her longest period that she ever had.
3 days more than her longest period that
she ever had as long as she doesn't
go above the maximum of 15 days.
So let's say
a woman let's look at January through December.
So January, February, March, April, May,
she her period was 5 days.
June, it was 6.
July, back to 5.
August was 4.
September was,
7.
October was 6.
November
was 5, and then December was 4.
Then she gets to January the next year.
And
after 7 days on the 8th day, she's
still bleeding. What does she do?
Well,
the maximum that she had before was 7
days because we said one of the ones
was 7 days even though most of the
time she's like 6 or 5. But if
she hits 7 once,
then the maximum for her is gonna be
7 +3,
10.
So if she's still bleeding on the 8th
day, then she considers her period. If she's
still bleeding on the 9th day, she's still
her period. Still bleeding on the 10th day,
it's still her period. Once she gets to
the 11th day and she's still bleeding, it's
not her period anymore.
That's called.
So let's say she does that maximum of
10. Then the next month,
what is her new maximum going to be?
10 +3.
13.
Because that's the new normal for her, so
to speak. What happens then the whole month
after that that she's bleeding
after 13? What's her new maximum? 15. 15.
So it's not gonna be 16.
So you're gonna add 3 to the last
maximum one you had, but it will never
go more
than 15 days.
So if someone is regular Ada's regular period
is 15 days, then she's not gonna ever
add 3 days to it. So if anyone
was gonna be adding 3 days, if she's
bleeding more than her normal
or more than her
last maximum one
or or in her life, then she's going
to add the 3 days as long as
it doesn't go above 15.
So after she reaches her maximum, whether it's
for the first timer, who's 15 days,
and whether it was for the one who's
having 3 days,
any blood after that is called istihada.
Istihada means that it is
blood that is not considered menstrual flow according
to the sharia.
So then the 3 rulings, the main rulings
that concern a a woman who's having menstrual
flow are now applied. She can fast or
she's required to fast if she's a normal
lung.
She's required to pray now too,
and she can resume conjugal relations with her
husband.
Now we get to the pregnant woman.
Her maximum,
if she's 2 months or more,
when she's or she's went into a pregnancy
2 months or more, the maximum number of
days then will be 20 days.
If she's 6 months plus, 9, 6 to
9, then it's going to be 30 days.
What if she's less than 2 months? Then
the 15 days like the other people.
But once she gets to 2 months of
pregnancy,
which determines she's at least 2 months along,
then if she does bleed after that,
then we consider it to be a cycle
and we consider it to be
a maximum
of 20 days. However, she's still gonna follow
the rules from before. So for maximum period
before that was 7 days, and and she
gets it while she's pregnant, she's gonna have
7 plus 3, but the maximum she can
go up to would be 20.
And he says here,
And for most people, they're not going to
bleed during a pregnancy, but,
the possibility is there.
Now
we get to
the what's called the sometimes this situation is
called
who puts people in,
confusion.
Why? Because she doesn't have a regular period.
Some one day, she's on. One day, she's
off. 2 days on. 2 days off, so
forth. Sometimes, this one is called a 2.
The one who's adding days,
just, you know, there's there's desperate days, and
she's adding them. So this is when he
when he says here
So if
she bleeds a day or 2 or 3
and then a day off and then a
day again,
then she's in this category, something like that.
Where she she doesn't get to the 15
day minimum,
then that blood that comes after a day
or 2 or 3 is gonna be added
to
the previous days.
So,
if
she doesn't get 15 days in between
her cycle
so she never gets to the because 15
days is the minimum,
and she's gonna know herself. So she bleeds
a day or 2 or 3, and then
a whole day, no blood,
and then the next day, a little bit,
the The next day, we do a bit
more. Then the next day, no blood. What
does she do? So this is the says.
So she's going to add
the disparate days of bleeding together
to determine her maximum.
So that means
within,
let's say, a period of a month or
2 months,
she's on and off.
She if she had a regular maximum before,
she's gonna look at that plus 3. So
let's say it was 7 days.
And now change in diet, whatever, something happened,
and she's now going this this sparingly.
In this case,
any day that she's not bleeding whatsoever, she
has to pray and she has to fast,
and she has to make meals
if there's no blood the whole day.
And then the day that she is bleeding,
she doesn't do any of that
until
she counts up all the days.
Once they let's say her maximum was 7
before that. Once she reaches 7,
then she's gonna wait and see. Did 15
days
come in between periods or not or she's
still kind of on and off, still on
and off, then she's gonna add 3 days
to that.
So then the maximum would be 10. So
once she gets to 10,
now what does she do while her cycle
is finished?
And she's gonna wait a whole 15 days
before she starts counting again even if she's
on and off. Then once those 15 days
come by then she can restart the counter
and she can be on and off. What
happens in the 15 days in between? Whether
she's bleeding or not, she's considered to be
thawhead and she has to pray and she
has to fast and all those things.
So,
we'll read the commentary too because it's it's
a tricky,
mess a tricky
issue.
So it says,
This is exactly what we just said.
So
if
her period cuts off, even if she's a
beginner, the first one, or someone who's already
had cycles,
and then there are periods of purity in
between where she's not bleeding. So she gets
blood one day and another she does not
and so forth.
But the days
of when she's not bleeding never reaches 15,
which we said is the minimum
amount of purity.
So whenever it gets to that,
then we call her the.
So
she adds up the days that she was
bleeding and ignores the days that she was
not.
So
he says for the one who's getting a
period the first time or the one who's
used to having 15 day periods,
then she's gonna add 15 days whether it
occurs in a month or 2 months
or 3 months or more or less.
And she ignores the days of purity that's
not gonna be counted here. So she adds
up the days where she
was bleeding and adds them up. Once they
get to 15,
then she's like she did
one cycle in 3 or 4 months. That's
okay. That's why I'm calling it
the. Someone who has already the cycle is
not gonna go to maximum 15 unless that
is their cycle. So if they've had a
maximum before that 7 or 8, they're gonna
have 3 days maximum.
Then it becomes 11
or 10 or 11. Next time,
if it's still bleeding, then she's gonna add
to the 11 plus 3, it would be
14
up until the maximum of 15.
Right? So whenever
you don't have a period of 15 days
of purity, you're still adding the days
up until your maximum.
However, if you do get 15 days of
purity
during that time, then the new blood that
comes after is definitely
her
period.
However, she never gets 15 days. So there's
2 types here.
Some of them may get the 15 days
of purity even though on off.
For these people,
they're still gonna count to the maximum that
they're supposed to have depending upon their
their category, whether they're
a first timer or whether they're regular cycle
or they're pregnant.
Then they get the 15 days of purity,
then they start the new period, and they
start the count over again. Then there's the
other one who never gets 15 days of
purity. Her whole life, she could be on
off on off on off. In this case,
she's going to add up the days up
until the maximum,
the ultimate maximum of 15 or less than
ultimate maximum till she gets to that point.
After she reaches the maximum number of days,
then she's going to pray and fast and
do everything 15 days straight.
And then on 16th day, if she's bleeding,
then that would be considered the start of
the next period.
And then she adds the days.
It keeps going
like this
So every time her she stops bleeding and
it lasts a day,
then she has to,
fast and pray and chest the maples
and not part of the day. So if
she bled sometime after fezier, then the whole
day is gone, so to speak.
Until she checks again,
then she has to in terms of fasting.
However, in terms of praying, she's supposed to
check at every prayer,
except she doesn't have to wake up before
treasurer to check.
Lord Ahmed said that that's a hardship. She
doesn't have to wake up for that. But
during the other times of prayer,
she should wait and check maybe towards the
end of the prayer time to see if,
she has gotten,
her period is not there anymore or the
cleaning has stopped, and then she can decide
if she's gonna pray that prayer or not.
But usually it's gonna be by days not
by, like, you'll determine, like, today is is
pure, the next day is not and so
forth. But certainly in terms of fasting, any
bleeding on any day of fasting,
you can't fast.
When May is at
So this is kind of a side issue
that dealing with the issue we just talked
about before.
But let's say,
here,
she had a full
pure
pure period
period of purity, 15 days.
And
then her period came.
If she knows
and can tell
her period blood from her
non period blood, maybe there's a different he
says there's a difference in,
color or difference in
scarcity,
you know, thickness or lack thereof, and she
can she can tell the difference,
then she doesn't have to do this is
half, which is to add the 3 extra
days
to the maximum.
However,
if she can't tell the difference,
then she would add the 3 extra days
assuming she didn't get to the maximum of
15 days yet.
So she wouldn't have to do the waiting
of the 3 days if she can actually
tell the difference between
menstrual blood and blood that's not menstrual blood.
And I would add to this,
if she's told by a medical practitioner,
this is not menstrual blood and this is
menstrual blood. And if it's within these parameters,
then that's also something you should take into
consideration.
And in addition to that, I would also
say that,
as to how this considered to be something
that is some outside of the normal parameters.
So it's a type of incontinence.
And,
the medic,
they said for incontinence, there are dispensations to
be done. But they also recommend
that one, if they can do a change
of diet
or there's some measure that they can take
to alleviate these symptoms of incontinence, then they
should try to do those measures if they
can, if possible.
So now he gets to the part about
how do we know when it's over?
How do we know that now a period
of purity has begun?
He
says,
So there's 2 sides, 1 of 2, or
sometimes,
women can get both.
So either it's dryness,
let's call
or with,
sometimes
called
it,
which would be a a white
sort of milky,
excretion.
So one of those 2 would be the
sign that the period now has come to
an end. So either woman will be used
to 1 or the other. Either she's used
to dryness or she's used to
which is the white milky sort of discharge,
or she gets both.
So it's gonna be different different
sort of,
or or or specifics
regarding each of them.
So it says there are 2 types of.
So if she's checking by, like, inserting some
type of,
pantyliner or a tampon or cloth or something
like that and it comes out,
dry in a sense there's no discoloration.
It could still be wet from moisture. That's
fine. But if there's no discoloration from the
menstrual blood, then that's a sign that her
period
is over. So he said the is kind
of white milky type of fluid.
And the
is also considered to be the white discharge
to be
a surer sign of the
end of the period than just dryness because
you can have, like, a false dryness, and
then an hour later, it start bleeding again
or there's discoloration. So
that one is is continuing to be a
sounder sign that it's over.
So someone is used to the white discharge.
As soon as that happens, then they know
they're pure, then they have to take the
and pray and so forth and everything.
However, someone who is used to,
the dryness
Also the one who's used to dryness,
then as soon as that happens, you should
also take the bath and do the and
and pray and so forth. But one who
is used to both, so if she gets
the dryness
but she also gets the white discharge, then
she should wait till the end of the
prayer time to see if the white discharge
happens or not because that's her
her, her or her,
or what she's used to her routine.
So
we talked about,
what's the maximum, and we said
the death pump, we said a drop
for some when we're talking about and at
least a day when we talk about waiting
periods in divorce. And we said the maximum.
The total maximum is 15,
and the general maximum is going to be
3 days plus whatever the previous maximum was
for most people.
For pregnant woman, if she's 2 months or
more, 20 days. If she's 6 months or
more, 30 days.
And then we also talked about, the,
the one who doesn't have a regular cycle
and how she has to count up the
days even if it occurs within several months.
Once it reaches her
cycle days and she's going 15 days even
if she's bleeding during those days and then
recount the cycle again.
And then we talked about the 2 two
signs,
either,
discharge
or,
dryness or or cessation of menstrual flow. Now
he's going to talk about,
some of the things that are preventives.
What can a woman do and not do
while she's out of her period?
So
it's a preventive and what we say preventive
means
that,
there's a dispensation. A woman doesn't have to
do any of these things. And at the
same time, it prevents the validity of these
things. So So even if she did do
it, it would not be valid. So what
amongst them are Tawaf. Tawaf is
during the umrah or Hajj rights making circumambulation
of the gala
because that is considered a prayer.
So it's it's in the same category as
prayer, so you have to have wudu.
Woman who's on her menstrual cycle can't have
ludu. So,
if she's in a Hajj or Umrah, then
she has to delay her until
she's able to to,
to do that after her cycle is over.
Can a woman take,
birth control pills to stop her period and
so she can do that? Our automatic said
it's okay if she can. If she should
and if and if her period does stop
or the doctors tell her that the blood
that's flowing now is not menstrual flow but
it's something else, then she can continue,
to do the whole off and so forth.
And that's,
yeah, it's permissible.
So she can't.
Means to spend
extended time in the masjid.
And also to pray
and fasting. What would you? And also the
obligatory nature of all these things are no
longer obligatory
if they were, if a woman is having
a
menstrual cycle.
However,
in terms
of fasting,
the days have to be made up
as do the prayers that are missed have
to be made up as well.
That's where the makeup's.
Prayers and fasting have to be made up.
If she didn't pray in the in the
in the time period,
we'll explain that in a second, if
comes in
and she gets close to the end of
asr and she hasn't prayed here but then
she starts to plead at that time Well,
she had all that time beforehand that she
should have made the lord prayer. So that
is something then that will have to be
made up later. But when she's bleeding,
you know, all the interim days, she doesn't
have to make those up. So it's only
the only the the the fasting then that
has to be made up. But she has
to watch
for when her period actually starts to determine
the prayers that have to be made up
in case that she didn't pray them.
And they're not considered
makeup technically. I mean, there's still there's no
there's no there's no sin because she is
allowed to delay the prayer until the end
of its birth time. But if her period
comes before she gets a chance to do
that, then that prayer has to be made
up.
Then there Then there are certain things that
are haram to do while she's
having her menstrual cycle. So we talked about
the things that are not valid nor obligatory
anymore,
fasting, praying,
so forth.
Divorce.
Who is it? It's how long for the
husband to divorce his wife when she's on
her menstrual cycle.
Does it count? Yes. It still counts anyway.
But if we were under the auspices of
a Muslim judge, he would force him to
take his wife back
because that is,
of the law that doesn't count.
And one of the sons of Omar actually
did that, and Omar forced his son to
take his wife back because he cannot.
He's not supposed to divorce the wife while
she's on our mission.
Divorce is not supposed to be a hasty
matter. It's not supposed to be something that
you,
you know, you kind of jump the gun
and do it. And, actually, it's also the
soonest divorce is
that,
I know there's a proper way to do
it is not even to divorce the wife
during a month where there were intimate relations.
If intimate relations already happened during that month,
then if you really want a divorce, you
have to wait till the next month,
not right then and there. So that's kind
of a a we'll get to that in
the chapter about divorce, but that's
also in the sharia because it prevents people
from making hasty decisions based upon something that
may have been,
that they regret later on.
So
and also in terms of interrelation
between husband and wife,
Sexual * is for is forbidden.
And,
here, he uses a a a metaphor,
so anything that's between the navel and the
knees.
Anything else is allowed. So any sort of
intimate touching and something like that, is still
allowed when when,
when a woman's on her menstrual cycle. It's
only, penetration that is harm.
Had that thoughts were a bit bad.
So when can they assume,
kind of a relationship? So if she stopped
bleeding, but she hasn't taken the bath yet,
the the
they have to wait until she does
the Then once she does the then they
can
resume.
Masjid and also entering into the masjid.
She should not enter into the masjid. If,
however, the masjid is something that has multiple
rooms and multipurpose room and kind of is
more of a a Islamic center as we
have in many
places in the west, then in those areas
where there's no Musa Allah, where it's not
the prayer area itself, then she's free to
go there obviously.
Well, That also,
she should not touch the pages of.
However, he says,
as we said earlier, to recite the Quran
is perfectly fine. Can't she have her iPad
on and recite from the iPad and touch
the iPad? Yes. Can't she have a book
that has Quranic verses in it but it's
not a musha, it's not a Quran because
there's other there's tarsir or there's things that
are more words than the words of the
Quran itself also is okay.
So what we mean by mushaf is a
dedicated book that's just Quran,
but something that's electronic
or if she's not touching the pages,
some some, you know, her someone is turning
the pages for her, but she's not touching
herself, then all that is okay.
There's another dispensation, however. If she is a
teacher or a student of the Quran,
then she can touch the pages as well
even if she's on her martial side.
In other words, teacher, she's has a daily
relationship with the lord and she teaches it
to people or she's a student, she's learning
it, memorizing it, so forth. It's not just
for Ibeda,
not just for ritual, worship, then she has
a dispensation to even touch the pages of
the mishelped,
while she's on her menstrual cycle. However, if
she's not on her menstrual cycle, then she
has to be on hulu
in order to do that.
Teacher or no teacher.
Why the difference? Because when she's on her
menstrual cycle, hulu has no effectiveness because she
can't put herself in the state of hulu
because she's in there's a preventive
that prevents her from being hulu, namely the
menstrual cycle.
When Nifas
now he goes into postpartum bleeding, which is
called Nifas.
Or we should say triplets and quadruplets and
6 triplets and so forth that we have
now. So in EFS
is
that which,
the discharge of blood that is excreted after
childbirth
or with childbirth.
So sometimes when it bleeds first before the
baby comes out then
has begun.
So
or if it's in between multiple
children from the same womb like twins or
triplets or whatever.
Sometimes it's not immediate. Nowadays, people know how
many babies are having. But there used to
be a time one comes out, she goes
home,
still feel a little queasy.
Like, wait. Let's go back, I think. Something
else is going on here. Got another one.
So
second one comes out, maybe a day later,
maybe 2 days, maybe a week.
So,
it still can if it's from the same
the same pregnancy,
then
the blood that was in between
the twins, so to speak, is still considered
to be
postpartum.
It's not her cycle. It's not her menstrual
cycle, so to say.
So it has all of kind of the
same rules
that apply to,
height except
So the maximum in terms of postpartum
bleeding
is 60 days.
Some other schools have 40 days like the
Hanover School. The Manichean School says 60 days
is the maximum.
So if she's still bleeding after 61 days,
then on the 61st day, we're gonna say,
no. That's not postpartum bleeding. She has to
take her shower or ghusl and to,
pray and to fast if she wants to
fast or if someone on launch is obligated
to fast.
And the same rules apply,
if she's the type who's getting one day
bleeding, one day not, like in the menstrual
cycle, she's gonna add the 60 days.
So she's gonna continue to add those until
she makes up 60. And then
anything after that would be a period of
15 days of and then the blue blood
after that will be her period.
So the same rules as we said for
the one who's
mixing the days or adding the days. And
the same things that are prevented by,
height,
by menstrual cycle also prevent,
postpartum bleeding also prevents those things. So all
the same rules in terms of the touching
of the mussaf, in terms of interrelations with
the husband, in terms
of entering a masjid. All of the same
rules apply
for someone who's in a state of postpartum
bleeding. The only difference is the maximum has
become longer,
60 days instead of the 15
that we had before for some of these
on the menstrual cycle.
And that concludes the chapter on
menstruation and postpartum bleeding. After that, we will
get to bed of salah
beginning with the prayer times, which we'll do
in the next session.
And we'll stop here for
now.
Okay. No questions. I can finish.
Let's try.
There's a question regarding the if
she's teaching.
But this mean that she's
she's in.
She can teach once she's not home at
home.
She can let's say she,
she has.
She gets her period.
Now even before she got a period, she's
not.
But she's a teacher at an Islamic school
when she teaches Quran, and she needs to
touch on.
She can
while she's on her period. However, once her
period stops
and she's able to take the,
now she has to be on the
because there's nothing preventing her from not being.
Well, she's preventing her before. That reason is
god. So the the
or the dispensation is no longer there either.
So you have to move the?
When she stops bleeding.
Okay. And then when she touches the now,
she has to be alone
because she has the ability to put herself
before she did die.
But from our understanding, the wudu when we're
studying, you said, like, someone wasn't wudu.
Oh, yeah. I'm just oh, yeah.
What time? Yeah. It was good.
But we also get great.
Adding days applies when
a woman bleeds beyond her maximum period that
she got before.
So Only if there's days in between where
she doesn't?
There are gonna be 2 types. There's gonna
be someone who gets a regular period, however
number of days, x number of days, and
then she'll go 2 or 3 weeks or
a month or whatever. She doesn't have a
period, and she gets a period again.
That's like the normal category in most people.
For someone like that,
some months will get 5, another 6, another
7, She's gonna look at the maximum that
was because if she gets to a month
where after 7 days,
on the 8th day she's still bleeding, what
does she do? She's like, oh, my period
is kinda long this time.
What do I do?
Well, I will continue to
not pray and take the rules of menstruation
up to 3 days more
than the 7 days assuming that was her
maximum.
So if she's still bleeding on 10th day,
then it's still her period. She gets the
11th day.
At this point, whatever happens, whether she's bleeding
or not, she's to pray and to fast
and everything after doing the blessing.
The second person
is one who doesn't get that,
who has, like, on or off. Day on,
2 days off, one day off. So she
never gets the 15 days,
of of minimum period in in between.
This is the one who is the, or
the one who,
can't think of a good word for that.
The one who
who adds no. Not.
Someone takes something here or something where they
put something together. What is that called? So
no. Okay. We have a question. I'm sorry.
Yeah. So she's gonna add the days. So
let's
say
60 days,
February March.
February 1st,
before that, she wasn't on her period. February
1st, she starts to bleed.
February 2nd, she's still bleeding.
February 3rd, she's not, the whole day.
Well, if she knows she doesn't have regular
period, then that day she should have fasted
and prayed if she had to fast and
definitely wouldn't have to pray.
So that's fine. She gets to February 4th.
Okay. Still not bleeding. Good. February 5th, she
bleeds again.
What does she do? Is this a new
period? No. It's not a new period.
It's from the the one from before, but
because you don't get a regular
minimum amount of time between periods,
we're gonna add those days, mix and match
those days, so to speak. So since you
had 2 days prior that you've led the
first and the second and now this is
the 3rd day, now you're up to 3
days.
So we keep going for the month of
February. So you cut up to February 28th
and you bled 6 days.
The maximum period that you had before
was
6 days.
Now what do you do?
You continue to wait and see
until you get up to 9 days. So
if you if and after 6 days, let's
say you go 2 weeks, 15 days, and
nothing happens, then the next time you bleed,
it's a it's a new period. Then you
don't have to mix and match. However, if
that doesn't happen
and you're still on and off
in the interim,
then I'm going to add a maximum of
3 days to the 6th. So once I
get to the 9 maybe I'm in March
when this happens.
Then once then the 10th day that I
believe, which happens March 15th,
is am I on my period? No. I'm
not.
Now I'm going to go 15 days no
matter what happens.
So I go 15 days.
So,
March 30th or 31st,
then I'm gonna look and see am I
bleeding or not. If I'm not bleeding, good.
If I do bleed and 15 days have
passed since the last time I I added
up all the days and counted then this
is a new period
and I start start the counter over again.
So then I see March April, and it's
perhaps in March April
and May that I could add up the
the 7 or 8 days again,
and then I get to July and I
start over the counter again.
So clear. Last year.
So long.
Because do you need
don't you need 15 days of oh.
Talk? When I was a kid of the
wife. Okay. So let's just go back to
February 1st. February 1st,
menstrual cycle. February second, menstrual cycle. 3rd, no
menstrual cycle. February 4th, 5th, whatever. You have
6 days. Now you're going to wait 5th
and there's 15 days. Once you reach your
maximum, stop counting. Which is 6 days. Right.
No. 6 plus 3. Okay. But I haven't.
So let's say we have well, okay. We'll
start February 1st. Let's say by February 20th,
we've gotten 6 days. Okay. Right? And then
And on the days that you're not bleeding,
you're praying. Yeah. But how do you know
like, you don't know. You have to wake
up you're I'm supposed to be fasting on
that day that I'm not that I'm praying.
Right? How do I know? That means I
have to wake up 2 hours before I
finish and wait? No. You look after Isha.
The time that you're gonna look is after
Isha, right before you go to sleep. The
night before? The night before is what I
need to tell her. So the night before,
let's say,
the she finds that there's
If you're bleeding the night before, then tomorrow
you're not fasting. But then let's say she's
bleeding the night before, she wakes up the
next day, and that whole day, the next
day, there's nothing.
That she has to make it up?
If she believes that her it stopped bleeding
sometime before pressure, yes. She should pick it
up. If, where she's not sure about that,
then she doesn't make it up.
The Fajr prayer, at least.
No. I'm talking about the fasting more. No.
The fasting is oh, oh, the fasting has
to be before pleasure, not bleeding.
But she doesn't have to check before pleasure
if her period She does not have to
check before pleasure. She goes by what she
sees at night.
That's enough.
How long does a woman have to go
far how far back does she have to
go? You said, like, if she goes back,
if a woman has been having a menstrual
cycle for 20 years Whatever her maximum was
for 20 years. So she's supposed to remember.
She's obligated to remember that
maximum in the past the past 20 year
history of the financials?
No. Whatever the yeah. Like, well, because she's
always counting. She's gonna know the new number
every month.
Yeah. Right? If there's a new maximum, she
knows it. Oh,
now it's 7. So the maximum the maximum
is gonna be 10.
If she bleeds 8 days, then that that
month, then, okay, the new maximum is 11.
So the next month, the maximum I'm gonna
wait is 11.
Well, if she didn't track it very well,
then she didn't mean
the longest
ever. Estimate.
I would say she asked me as best
of ability. Or go by as far back
as we remember only, like, maybe this year
only. Take it from there.
K. There's a question here.
If the maximum was 7 days and the
next month, she bleeds 8,
Although she could have gone to 10 days.
So
her next month is 11 or 13. 11.
11.
11.
Okay. Because she's not gonna count the extra
days. We're not counting them because we said
she got to her maximum, then it's 8.
And then 9, 10, 11, what I'm actually
doing after that is all is to how.
So then next month, 8 plus 3 will
be 11, the maximum.
Another question.
If one want to talk if one wants
to ask Quran on her computer while wearing
gloves.
As we said, only if she's a teacher
or she's a student. Not for.
Even gloves doesn't matter. But I think that
concludes.
For now, I'm gonna.
