Woman's duties while spotting blood |
Fatwa Date : Rajab 2, 1422 / 20-9-2001 |
Question
My wife has a problem of spotting blood a week before her actual menses starts. Can she perform Islamic duties like Salat, read Qur'an and fast during this time?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
Since your wife has a normal menstruation period, then the drops of blood that she finds just before her menstruation period are not considered part of the menstruation itself and they have no influence on the validity of the prayer or the fasting. But if these drops do not stop for a period enough for her to make Wudu and perform prayer, then her rule becomes similar to that of Mustahadha. Then she has to make Wudu for every prayer and pray no matter how much blood comes during that prayer. Her prayer then is valid.
Allah knows best.
