She does not bleed for the next 5-7 days and resumes bleeding thereafter for a while. After 7 days of bleeding is Salaah ,Quran recitation, Conjugal relationship permitted? How many days is her monthly cycle?

A: Her monthly cycle will be for ten days. After the tenth day, she may bath and resume conjugal relations etc.

( والزائد ) على أكثره ( استحاضة ) لو مبتدأة أما المعتادة فترد لعاداتها وكذا الحيض فإن انقطع على أكثرهما أو قبله فالكل نفاس وكذا حيض إن وليه طهر تام وإلا فعادتها وهي تثبت وتنتقل بمرة به يفتى وتمامه فيما علقناه على الملتقى (الدر المختار 1/300)


Q: In other words, she should also only resume Salaah and Quran after 10 days even though she stopped bleeding after 7 days?

A: Yes, she will resume her Salaah after the tenth day as well.

( ودم استحاضة ) حكمه ( كرعاف دائم ) وقتا كاملا ( لا يمنع صوما وصلاة ) ولو نفلا ( وجماعا ) لحديث توضئي وصلي وإن قطر الدم على الحصير (الدر المختار 1/298)
