When Does A Woman Perform Ghusl After Menses?

[ummtaalib]

Question:

 

When the menses period of a woman terminates – how does she establish when to perform ghusl? For example: does she wait for the appearance of white discharge, wait for 24 hours after the bleeding stops, or perform ghusl when the bleeding stops? Note sometimes bleeding may stop but may re-occur again.

 

Answer:

 

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

A woman may perform ghusl and pray Salah immediately upon the termination of her menses. She is not required to wait for 24 hours or the appearance of white discharge. If she knows her regular cycle such as 7 days, then immediately upon the completion of the 7^th day, the menses will terminate and she will perform ghusl and pray her Salah.

If she witnesses bleeding after the 7^th day, it will be considered Haidh (menses) until the 10^th day. Any bleeding which occurs after the 10^th day will be considered Istihadah (irregular bleeding). [2]

اذا انقطع الدم قبل الثلاثة، او جاوز العشرة- حقيقة او حكما- في المعتادة، تومر بقضاء الصلاة. (منهل الواردين، ص312، دار الفكر)
