Q & A

What is istihadah and how does it differ from menstruation?

Istihadah refers to abnormal bleeding that is not related to the menstrual cycle, often considered as a form of illness or disease. It differs from menstruation (haid) in that istihadah blood is lighter, more watery, and has no distinct odor, whereas menstrual blood is darker, thicker, and has a stronger, more distinctive scent.

What should a woman do if she experiences blood flow after menstruation?

If the bleeding continues beyond the normal menstrual period, it could be istihadah. A woman should seek medical advice if the bleeding lasts more than 14 days, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition that needs attention.

What is the characteristic appearance of menstruation blood?

Menstrual blood is typically dark red or black in color, thick and sticky in texture, and has a distinct, strong odor.

What is the minimum and maximum duration of menstruation according to Islamic teachings?

According to the Islamic scholars, the minimum duration of menstruation is 24 hours, and the maximum duration is 15 days. If the bleeding lasts beyond this period, it may be classified as istihadah.

How can a woman differentiate between menstruation blood and istihadah blood?

Menstruation blood is dark, thick, and has a distinctive odor, while istihadah blood is lighter, more fluid, and lacks the strong smell associated with menstruation.

What does the hadith mentioned in the script say about recognizing menstruation blood?

The hadith in the script, narrated by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), explains that menstruation blood is dark in color and easy to recognize. If the blood is lighter in color, a woman should perform wudu (ablution) and continue praying.

What should a woman do if she experiences irregular bleeding during her menstrual cycle?

If a woman experiences irregular bleeding or bleeding that stops and starts (as in the case of istihadah), it is recommended to consult an expert, like a religious scholar or a doctor, for proper guidance.

What are the key differences between menstrual blood and istihadah blood in terms of color and texture?

Menstrual blood is dark red to black, thick, and sticky. In contrast, istihadah blood is light, often pale pink or bright red, and is more watery or thin in consistency.

What action does a woman need to take after the bleeding period of menstruation ends, if bleeding continues?

After the regular menstruation period ends, if bleeding continues, a woman needs to perform wudu and continue her prayers, provided the bleeding is light and does not resemble the characteristics of menstruation blood.

How long should the menstrual cycle ideally last to not be considered as istihadah?
