Contents Some scenarios of women who have a ‘Habit of Duration’ Some scenarios of women who have a ‘Habit of Time’ Mudhtaribah: Disordered duration Some scenarios of Mudhtariba: Disordered Duration Some scenarios of women who have a ‘Habit of Duration’ Scenario 1: If a woman in the last two months has seen blood for 8 days BUT this month she sees it for 13 days, what is her duty?

In this situation, she should consider the first 8 days as ‘haidh’ and the rest as ‘istihadha’, because she had a habit of 8 days and this month the flow was more than 10 days. Scenario 2: If a woman in the last 2 months has seen blood for 8 days BUT this month she sees it for 10 days, what is her duty? In this situation, she should consider all 10 days as ‘haidh’, as the flow was not more than 10 days.

Women who have a habit of time: As was mentioned earlier this is a woman who has seen blood on a particular date in the past 2 months but has no fixed duration. When a woman under this category sees blood for 10 days (and it has all the signs of haidh) then it is all haidh, but if she sees blood for more than 10 days then she must follow the guidelines below: If the blood seen has signs of haidh then the number of days it has the signs of haidh is ‘haidh’, the rest is istihadha.

(If the blood has the signs of haidh and the same signs remain for 13 days, then it is as if there were no signs). If the blood has no signs of haidh, and the only way the woman knows it is haidh is because of her habit of time, then she should consult her family, to verify the normal time duration of the period experienced by female members of her family. If the majority of the women in her family have similar durations, she should follow their pattern.

In this case, the normal duration in the family is considered to be haidh, and the remaining days are istihadha. If the family members have different durations and it is hard to determine, then a woman must calculate the first 7 days as part of her menses, and the rest as istihadha.
