Assalamo Alaikum!

 

Please guide me on my condition:

Some times my periodic bleeding does not stop even after quite a few days; shall I continue breaking my fast, till I am fully clean?

A sister

 

Dear Sister, Walekum Assalam WRWB!

May Allah help you in your condition, Amen!

There are three types of conditions which a woman may face:

1. Haidh: Regular monthly period. How long is this? There is a difference of opinion among the scholars on its duration. It may vary from 3 to 17 days. After that, salat and fasting must be performed.
2. 2. Nifas: Bleeding after delivery. In this case, no limit is set. A woman is recommended to stop praying and fasting for a maximum period of 40 days. After that, salat and fasting must be performed.
3. Istihadha: Bleeding that continues, even after the regular period is over. A woman who suffers from it should take a bath every day, after the period is over, perform wudu for every daily salat to offer them and should fast also. (Fiqh –us-Sunnah). Allah knows best
