As such, her menstrual (Haidh) habit is 5 days and <strong>the place of her habit is at the start of every Month, from day 1 to day 5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in the following Month, she experiences continuous\/irregular spotting and spots continuously for 11 days, <strong>from day<\/strong> <strong>3 to day 14.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such a case, the following rule applies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If<strong> <\/strong>the spotting<strong> exceeds 10 days and a minimum number (Nisaab) of 3 days spotting is found in the place of habit,<\/strong> only the days of spotting in the place of habit will be counted as menses <strong>(Haidh). <\/strong>The rest of the spotting will be counted as<strong> <\/strong>dysfunctional bleeding<strong> (Istihaadhah<\/strong>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, her menses (Haidh) habit has changed to <strong>3 days<\/strong> and the place of her habit has changed, <strong>from day 3 to day 5 <\/strong>(not from day 1 to day 3). This is because the spotting <strong>exceeded 10 days<\/strong> <strong>and a minimum number (Nisaab) of 3 days spotting is found in the place of habit<\/strong>. The 8 days outside the place of her habit, from day 6 to day 14, is Istihaadhah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If however, she experiences continuous\/irregular spotting and spots continuously for 11 days, from <strong>day 4 to day 15,<\/strong> the place of her habit will not have relevance and the the general rules of menses (Haidh) and (Istihaadhah) will apply.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because the spotting <strong>exceeded 10 days but a minimum number (Nisaab) of 3 days spotting was not found in the place of habit<\/strong>. <strong>(Manhal-Ul-Waarideen 180-186)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>N.B. The above is just one example in which the place of habit affects the calculation of menses (Haidh). One should consult with an experienced Alim\/Mufti to determine one&#8217;s correct menstrual (Haidh) habit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allah Ta\u2019ala Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mufti Ismaeel Bassa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>themufti.com<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Place of Habit Affects the Calculation of Menses (Haidh) Q.
