As salaamu alaykum,

May Allah(swt) have mercy on me for my wording and forgive me for any wrongdoing.

I was wondering what a women should do if she is in a state of fasting from fajr to just before asr (4:45pm), and she notices a very slight sliver of bright red discharge from her awrah, is it considered that her menstruation has started and her fast is broken? then the same day at asr (5:30pm) she checks again and there is no discharge of any color of red from her awrah, does this mean her menstruation has not started and that her fast is still continuing?
In this specific situation the sister does not have what many women call a “normal cycle”, some months her cycle is longer and occur later in the month and some months her cycle is shorter and earlier in the months, and occurrence of when in the month her cycle occurs varies often. Her menstruation is also not characterized by dark brown blood at the beginning but rather bright blood and then darker red to maroon colored blood towards the middle of the cycle then weening off to a dirty red-brown colored discharge towards then end. The sister is also having doubt of when to cease being in a state of ritual impurity as she does not experience this white discharge at the end of the cycle and as mentioned she experiences discharge that is brown and then eventually yellow at the end days of her cycle. The sister also experiences clear mucus like discharge that sometimes has tinges of yellow throughout the month, does she then need to do ghusl each time she experience this?

Please can you guide me as to when should she consider the beginning of her menstruation and the end? And when she is in ritual impurity what acts of worship from the Shafi School perspective is she not allowed to perform, as she is a new practicing muslim and is currently trying to learn the adab of one School at the time. Can she read the English translation of the Quran which also has arabic in it or is she forbidden to do this?

Again, I ask for Allah(swt) to forgive me if I have been to open in the matter and if I have committed any sins and wrongdoings.

I apologize for any wrongdoings and for soo many questions, please forgive me.

Barak’Allah feek,

May Allah(swt) reward you for your help and efforts.

Wa alaykum salaam,

Your sister in islam.

I’m also curious about the Quran issue. I heard women are allowed to read translation and tafsir of Quran, but not recite.

According to my understanding from Fiqh Al-sunnah my wife had to pay Fidya if she was planning on going the whole year (Ramadan to Ramdan) breastfeeding. So last Ramadan we fed 30 people (a person a day) and this year she is still breastfeeding so we're going to do the same inshallah. If I recall correctly the stipulation for paying Fidya instead of making up the fast was breastfeeding for the whole year in between the Ramadans. Wallahu Alam (Allah knows best).

What about a woman who is nursing? Does she have to fast? If it is too difficult for her does she have to make up the 30 days later? and does she have to pay fidya?

I am also interesting in knowing the opinion regarding the reading of the Quran while a woman is menstruating. I have been researching this of late, as I was taught that one should never read Quran while menstruating, however in the are I live I see that most women still read the Quran.

From what i have read and learned through my research is that one of The strong opinion is that if it goes beyond 10 days then the time beyond the tenth day will be like any other, meaning she should make ghusl and then start praying like usual, because it is deemed to be abnormal bleeding at that point.
