Ruling on Excess Blood Beyond the Menstrual Period at the Age of Fifty
A woman at the age of fifty has irregular menstrual cycles, and when her period comes, it lasts longer than the usual days. What is the ruling on her prayers during that period?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the menstruation does not exceed ten days, she is considered to be in her menstrual period and has the ruling of a menstruating woman. If it exceeds ten days, the excess is not considered menstruation, and God knows best.
