Q: A sister spotted first day (Thursday night) then immediately took the pill. She did not spot at all for 6 days. She had forgotten to take the pill at lunch time on Wednesday and then she spotted immediately. She then took the pill she had forgotten to take and the spotting stopped. Is the 6 days her haidh days? Can she make ghusal and read Salaah as she is clean now? She leaves for home on Saturday after which she will stop the pill and this will start her proper bleeding. So which days are her haidh days? Does the first six days which are tuhr are they haidh days or after she stops the pills are those haidh days?
A: The six days will be regarded as haidh provided there was fifteen days or more that had passed between this haidh and the previous haidh.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
