Istihaaza [Irregular Vaginal Bleeding]  as Mentioned in Hadith

Hadith 1: It is reported in Sahihain from Umm ul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that Faatima bint Hubaish رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا said, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم ! I have Istihaaza and it does not stop; so should I not read Namaaz?’ He  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘No, This is blood from the vein. It is not Haidh, so when the days of Haidh come, leave your Namaaz and when they pass; wash away the blood and read your Namaaz.’

Hadith 2: It is reported in Abu Dawud and Nasa’i with regards to the narration regarding Hazrat Faatima bint Hubaish رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  told her that when it is the blood of Haidh then it is blackish. It will be recognised and when this happens leave your Namaaz and when it is of some other type then perform Wudu and read your Namaaz, as this is the blood from the vein.’

Hadith 3: It is reported in the narration of Imam Maalik, Abu Dawud and Daarimi that there was a lady who had continuous bleeding. Umm ul Momineen Umm-e-Salma رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا asked a Fatwa  (Decree) from Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم in this regard. He  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘For the amount of days in a month wherein she used to get her cycle, she should leave her Namaaz in accordance with these days and when those days pass, she should take a bath, wear a loincloth and then perform her Namaaz.

Note: Wearing a loincloth actually refers to wearing something tight under the clothing which will avoid any blood from coming through flowing freely.

Hadith 4: It is reported in Abu Dawud and Tirmizi that He  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘Abstain from Namaaz in the days when you used to have your cycle, thereafter she should take a bath and perform Wudu in the time of each Namaaz and she should keep her fast and perform her Namaaz.’

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 2)
