Question: Bleeding during ovulation
For the last 3 months, I had bleeding during my ovulation phase for 3–4 days, irregularly. First I thought it may be health related and went to a doctor. She said it wasn't something bad and that some women had bleeding during ovulation, it was caused by hormone fluctuations and egg's release.
So this bleeding is not menstruation, but do I have to act like it was? Can I not pray, fast or have intercourse with my husband?

الجواب حامداومصليا

Minimum days of purity is 15 days. Anything after this period if you see blood then it will be Haidh (menses). As long as you have no known habits your Haidh will be 10 days.

Above case scenario, If this doesn’t fall within your Haidh then it will be Istihadha. So you will be able to pray, fast and have intercourse.


And Allah knows best
