Takeaways

• 📅 The minimal age for menstruation according to Islamic teachings is 9 years in the Hijri calendar, which is slightly less than 9 years in the Gregorian calendar.
• 🩸 Menstruation is defined as blood that comes naturally from a woman’s body, starting at the age of menstruation, not due to childbirth or a disease.
• 🔄 If someone does not know their birth date in the Hijri calendar, they can convert their Gregorian birth date using online tools to determine the Hijri equivalent.
• ⏳ The concept of the minimal menstruation age (9 years Hijri) is flexible in Islamic jurisprudence and not strictly tied to an exact day.
• ✅ There are four essential criteria for menstruation: it must be from a woman of appropriate age, last a minimum of one full day, not exceed 15 days, and the time between two periods must be at least 15 days.
• 📊 The general duration for menstruation is between 6 and 7 days, while the typical clean period between two cycles is around 23 to 24 days.
• ⚠️ Changes in menstrual patterns, such as increased bleeding days after a medical procedure like a cesarean section, are still considered menstruation as long as they do not exceed 15 days.
• 🎨 The color of menstrual blood varies: black, red, brown, yellow, and murky. The interpretation of yellow and murky colors depends on whether they appear during or after menstruation.
• 💡 For yellow or murky discharge: if it appears before the menstrual blood, it’s treated as regular discharge. If it follows the menstrual blood, it’s still considered menstruation. If it appears after the blood has fully cleared, it’s treated as regular discharge.
• 🙋 The difference between the final stages of menstruation and typical vaginal discharge can be identified based on timing and consistency, which helps women know when they are considered ritually pure again.

Q & A

What is the basic definition of menstruation (haid) according to the speaker?

Menstruation (haid) is defined as the blood that exits from the private part of a woman who has reached the minimal age of menstruation, which is 9 lunar years, minus 16 days. The blood must exit naturally and not due to childbirth or a medical condition.

What age is considered the minimal age for menstruation?

The minimal age for menstruation is 9 lunar years, minus 16 days. If blood exits before this age, it is not considered menstruation but is considered istihadhoh (abnormal bleeding).

How can someone convert their birthdate from the Gregorian calendar to the Hijri calendar?

One can easily convert their birthdate from the Gregorian calendar to the Hijri calendar using online tools. For example, if someone was born on January 30, 1997, they can use an online converter to find out their corresponding Hijri date.

What are the four conditions that must be met for blood to be considered menstruation (haid)?

The four conditions for blood to be considered menstruation are: 1) It must exit from a woman who has reached the minimal age of menstruation, 2) The blood must exit for at least 24 hours if continuous or accumulate to 24 hours if intermittent, 3) The blood must not exceed 15 days, and 4) The minimal interval between two menstruation periods must be 15 days and 15 nights.

If a woman normally experiences 7-8 days of menstruation but suddenly has 13-15 days of bleeding after a cesarean section, is this considered istihadhoh?

No, it is not considered istihadhoh. As long as the blood does not exceed 15 days, it is considered menstruation (haid), even if it differs from the woman's usual cycle.

What should a woman do if she experiences yellow or murky discharge after her menstruation?

If yellow or murky discharge occurs after the blood has completely stopped, it is considered regular vaginal discharge (keputihan) and not menstruation. However, if it occurs during or directly after the menstruation, it is considered part of the menstruation.

What are the five colors of menstruation blood mentioned in the script?

The five colors of menstruation blood mentioned are black, red, brown, yellow, and murky. The status of yellow and murky blood is debated among scholars, with some considering it part of menstruation and others not.

Does the Shafi'i school of thought recognize a maximum age for menstruation?

No, the Shafi'i school of thought does not recognize a maximum age for menstruation. As long as a woman is alive and the blood meets the criteria for menstruation, it is considered menstruation, regardless of age.

What is the significance of understanding the criteria for menstruation in Islamic jurisprudence?

Understanding the criteria for menstruation is crucial for fulfilling religious obligations, such as knowing when a woman is exempt from certain acts of worship (e.g., prayer, fasting) and when she needs to perform the ritual purification (ghusl) to resume worship.

How do scholars handle minor discrepancies in age when determining the onset of menstruation?

For menstruation, scholars use a general guideline rather than a strict cutoff. A minor discrepancy, such as being slightly under 9 lunar years when menstruation begins, is still considered valid. However, for other signs of maturity, like the emission of seminal fluid, the age requirement is more strictly observed.
