Is blood that has been flowing for 16 days after taking birth control pills for breastfeeding considered menstruation or istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), and is it obligatory to pray while it continues, despite taking medication to stop it?
Since the duration of the blood has exceeded fifteen days, it has become clear that you are experiencing istihada (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding). For an explanation of what is incumbent upon you, please refer to Fatwa no. 117185.
