Question
I had bleeding for 15 days. After 10 days haiz I strarted praying, the blood stopped after 15 days, then I had gap for 5 or 6 days and the bleeding has started again. How many tahir (clean) days need there be between the istihaza and the new flow of blood for it to be considered haiz?
Answer
The time duration of menses is no less than 3 days and no more than 10 days. Even after 10 days you observe any bleeding, then this would be called "istehaza" (morbid seminal bleeding) and if bleeding stops on the 10th day, these 10 days would be counted as your menses period. Further, it is necessary that there should be at least 15 days, between one menses and the next, when you could be considered clean. Any bleeding between this 15-day period of cleanliness, would be considered as "istehaza" and the bleeding occurring after this 15-day period, would be counted as "menses". wasalaam,And Allah knows best.
