HAIZ AND SAUM (FASTING) (Islamic laws regarding purity
for women)

Masala 1.
Although fasting during ramazan remains obligatory
during haiz, a woman should not fast during the period
but it becomes compulsory for her to observe these as
qazaa fasts later on.

Masala 2.
If bleeding started while she was fasting, her fast
breaks even if there was a very little portion of the
fast still left. Since the fast is not valid it is
necessary for her to repeat it, whether it is fard or
nafl.

Masala 3.
If a woman starts menstruating on the day when she was
fasting, thereby causing her fast to break, she must
still not eat or drink anything on that day. It is
necessary for her to appear like others – as if she is
fasting.

Masala 4.
She should also not eat or drink on the day she
becomes pure (paak) from haiz and should also appear
as if she is fasting.

Masala 5.
If bleeding stops after subhe saadiq in Ramazan and
although she has not eaten anything, her fast is not
valid even if she makes an intention to fast. Qazaa
becomes necessary for that particular fast as she was
unclean for a certain period of the day.

Masala 6.
If bleeding continued for full 10 days and 10 nights
and stopped just before subhe saadiq, leaving no time
even to say takbire tahrima, then that particular fast
becomes compulsory for her. She should make an
intention to keep the fast. If however, bleeding stops
within ten days and ten nights and there is time for a
quick bath before subhe saadiq, then that fast becomes
compulsory; but if there is no time for a bath, then
it is not compulsory to fast that day. In case the
fast becomes compulsory, then she should make an
intention and keep the fast. It doesn’t matter if she
takes a bath later on.
