Question:Some of the great scholars of religion say that if a pregnant woman sees blood before the delivery of the child, and she is certain that the blood is of menstruation, she does what the menstruating woman does, with no difference between being separated from the birth by ten days (less or more) or related to it. This is because the blood of menstruation and blood of postpartum is not separated by, even if it was between two menstruation periods. If the woman does not realize whether the blood is of menses or of pre/post menses, it is one of the two cases: if it is menstrual blood and on days of menstruation, it is considered menstruation, provided that it is confirmed by continuing it for three days. On the other hand, if it is not as menstrual blood nor in normal days, it is considered as pre/post- menstruation blood. If it is menstrual blood and is not on the usual days of menstruation, or on the days of menstruation, but without the characteristic of menstruation, do you consider it menstruation?

Answer:In the name of Allah, if it has the characteristics of menstruation then it is menstruation. Allah knows best.

Question:It is commonly known among the religion scholars that it is disliked for menstruating women and in postpartum to recite the Holy Quran, and if the reciting exceeds seventy verses, it will be highly disliked, as it is forbidden to recite the verse of (Sajdah) prostration in Surat Al-Aza’im. The question is whether you have a different opinion from this opinion even if the matter goes between sitting menstruating or postpartum without any worship that she can recite the Noble Quran without the verse of prostration. Is it better for her not to recite or is it better for her to recite, even if it is less reward?

Answer:In the name of Allah, it is desirable for her to recite the entire Quran, but it will be less rewarded during her menstrual and postpartum days. According to my opinion, these women and the men in state of Janabat are not allowed to recite any verse of Al-Sajdah. The terms “dislike” used by other scholars of religion indicates less rewards. Allah knows best.

Question:What is the ruling of secretions that come immediately after the break of the menstrual period and are usually brown in color, is it counted from the days of the period or not?

However, if they are not of a controlled period in terms of number, then those secretions if they were during the ten or interrupted within the ten days, they are regarded as menstruation. Otherwise, they are regarded as pre/post menses (Istihadha). Allah knows best.

Can the blood, if cut off three hours or less, be called intermittent?

Answer:In the name of Allah, we should know that menstrual blood usually comes out in the form of drops and does not come out as a liquid or flow, otherwise the woman gets anemia. The blood comes out even if the drops are interrupted every few minutes and every few hours or every day and for three days not exceeding ten days. This is menstruation. Allah knows best
