GF Types of Blood Which Occur to a Woman

Types of Blood Which Occur to a Woman According to some scholars, the bloods which appear in a woman are of five types: One­ Damu Fasaad: This is the blood which cannot be Haidh by any means, such as the blood of a pregnant woman which is not Nifass, or the blood of a girl under the age of nine or a lady above fifty, and the blood which is not up to the minimum (quantity) of Haidh. None of the rules of Haidh applies to this. Rather, she should behave in Salaat such as one with ceaseless urine, and it is permissible for her husband to have sex with her even if he is not afraid of falling into difficulty (disobedience or adultery). The only exception is a Mubtada’ah – a first timer – for she should observe the rules concerning Haidh until her situation becomes clear.

But, in the case of a pregnant lady who observes a flow of blood, they said that she is strongly advised to perform Ghusl, when it has stopped, unlike the other types of Damu fasaad, for they did not recommend that, whereas analogy based on their argument shows that there shouldn’t be any difference between them.

Two­ Damul Istihaadhah: This refers to the blood that exceeds the maximum period of Haidh in a woman who normally can observe Haidh.

Three­ Damul Haidh: This is the blood that comes in the period within which a woman may menstruate and it qualifies as Haidh in such a way that it has not exceeded nor is it less than the least period of Haidh.

Four­ Confusing: This is the blood of a first timer (Mubtada’ah) that exceeds the least days of Haidh and the Nifass blood which has come back within the period of Nifass, after it had stopped. In this case she should fast and pray and should not have sexual intercourse with her husband. She should also repay the fast later, except in a situation where the first­timer becomes Aayesah – a woman who has despaired from Haidh – without experiencing a recurrence of the blood.

Five­ Damun Nifass: This is the blood due to childbirth.
