Question 3...
Question 3: Keeping scenario 3 in mind, when a woman has a habit of time and duration where haidh is concerned – If she delivers a baby on the 1st of the month and sees blood for 30 days, and her habit is that she sees blood on the 10th to 17th every month, what is the ruling? Answer: The first 7 days are nifas (1st to the 7th, because this woman has a habit of duration too).
Question 4: Keeping scenario 4 in mind that is a woman who has a habit of time only where haidh is concerned - If she delivers a baby and sees blood for 30 days, what is the ruling? Answer: The first 10 days are nifas (Since she has a habit of time only). The next 10 days are istihadha. Following days are haidh if the blood seen now is on the days this woman has a habit of seeing each month.
Even if the blood lacks the signs of haidh it should still be considered haidh if it falls on the specific time. (Check scenario 5 for a clear understanding) . If it does not fall on the specific time then it is not haidh, it is istihadha even though it has the signs of haidh***. (Check scenario 6 for getting a clear understanding)*** Scenario 5: This woman has a habit of time only, where haidh is concerned. She used to see blood of haidh on the 1st of every month.
She delivers a baby on the 10th of this month and sees blood for 40 days. What is the ruling? This scenario has two rulings. Ruling 1: The first 10 days will be nifas, then the next 10 days is going to be istihadha. Now if this woman sees blood and it falls on the specific date and it has signs of haidh and she sees these signs for 8 days. Then the first 10 days are nifas (from the 10th to the 20th of this month). Next 10 days are istihadha (from the 20th to the 30th of this month).
Next 8 days are haidh (from the 1st to the 8th). Last 12 days are istihadha (from the 9th to the20th) Ruling 2: The first 10 days will be nifas, then the next 10 days will be istihadha.
