Women having the habit of fixed duration

 

498. Women having the habit of duration are of three types:

  1. A woman whose duration of Hayz in two consecutive months is same but the commencing times differ. In such circumstances her habit of duration will be the number of days during which blood is seen. For example, if blood is seen from the 1st to the 5th of the 1st month and from the 11th to the 15th of the 2nd month her duration habit will be 5 days.
  2. A woman who does not become Pak from blood, however, in two consecutive months sees a blood, which bears the sign of Hayz, i.e. thick and warm and its color is either black or red and it discharges with a pressure and a little irritation, and during other days, the blood has the signs of Istihadha  and the duration of discharge of blood in these two months is the same, however, the commencement of blood discharge during both months differ, hence the number of days in which the blood bears the sign of Hayz it will be classified as menstrual period. For example, if blood, which bears the sign of Hayz, is seen from the 1st to the 5th of the 1st month and from the 11th to the 15th of the 2nd month, her duration habit will be 5 days and rest will be classified as Istihadha.
  3. A woman who sees blood in two consecutive months for 3 or more days, and then it stops for a day or two before it starts again, though the time of commencement of blood varies in the 2nd month from that of the 1st, if the total number of the bleeding and Pak days does not exceed ten and that the duration period in both the months remains equal, the duration of her habitual discharge will be the number of days during which blood is seen, and in the intervening days during which she was Pak, as per precautionary measures, she should refrain from the

 

         acts which are forbidden on Haa’ez and should perform her obligations and offer her prayers. However, if the duration in two consecutive months, during which she is Pak, is not the same, there is an objection (Ishkaal) in classifying such woman as the one having the habit of fixed duration. However, such woman should act according to the precautionary measures, i.e. during the days when she is Pak, she should refrain from the acts which are forbidden on Haa’ez and should perform her obligations and offer her prayers, and during the days when she is bleeding, she should refrain from the acts which are forbidden for Haa'ez and should perform the obligations of a Mustahadha.

 

499. If a woman with the fixed habit of duration sees blood for more days than her habitual duration, and if it exceeds 10 days and the nature of blood remains same throughout, then she can calculate her habitual duration from the day bleeding began or from the middle, and treat it as Hayz and rest as Istihadha. But if the nature of blood changes, with some days showing signs of Hayz and others showing signs of Istihadha, then there can be three possibilities:

If the number of days in which blood shows signs of Hayz tallies with the habitual duration, then she will take those days as of Hayz, and the rest as Istihadha.
If the number of days in which blood shows signs of Hayz exceeds her habitual duration, then she will take her habitual duration as Hayz, and the rest as Istihadha.
If the number of days in which blood shows signs of Hayz is less than her habitual duration, she will add some days to complete her duration and take that period as Hayz, and treat the rest of the days as of Istihadha.
