Haidh Query

You state your khaala has always had a regular cycle of 26-28 days, of which 5-6 days are of haidh. Due to the precaution required when dealing with salah, we will take the lesser number in your situation. Thus, according to the information provided, we will determine her Tuhr (Clean) habit to be 21 days and her haidh habit to be 5 days.

The month of December

You state that her menstrual bleeding began seven days after her expected date. Thereafter,she bled for six days.

In principle, one regular occurrence of tuhr or haidh is enough to establish a new habit.[i] Accordingly, her clean habit has now changed to 28 days. In addition, her haidh habit will be five days going forward.

The month of January

Consider this chart so that it may be easy to come to a ruling.

Note: the first row refers to the Gregorian date. The second row refers to the days of the cycle.

In this situation, since the clean period is less than 13 days, it is not considered to be complete.  Therefore, she will be considered to be continuously bleeding for 24 days, from the 10^thof January to the 2^nd of February.[ii]

Her clean habit, as mentioned above, was 28 days. The expected days of haidh occurred during the continuous bleeding of 24 days (10^th to 2^nd). Thus, we will determine her haidh to occur during her expected days. To be precise, the 29^th day to the 34^th day of her cycle, which corresponds to the 16^th of January to the 20^st. However, you may ask, how can this be her haidh while there was no actual bleeding that occurred?

The reason thereof is that these days are in the ruling of blood. Therefore, due to it corresponding to the days of her habit, we will rule for those days to be her haidh.[iii]

The month of February

She saw blood on the 25^th and then her menstrual period continued normally. In this particular situation, the blood was seen after a completeclean period. Thus, this will be considered her haidh.

          Conclusion

As of February 2018, your khala’s tuhr habit will be 28 days and her haidh habit will be 5 days.  As you state, her haidh was normal in December and February. However, she experienced irregular bleeding in the month of January.

We have determined that her Haidh will be from the 16^th to the 20^th January. She will have to make qadha of the salawat missed on the 10^th to 15^th as well as any fasts that were kept. In addition, she was required to take a ritual bath on the 15^th. Therefore, she would have to repeat those salawat that she prayed before taking a ritual bath
