The difference between a menstruating woman (ḥā’iḍ) and a woman experiencing irregular bleeding (mustaḥāḍah) depends on the difference between menstruation (ḥayḍ) and irregular bleeding (istiḥāḍah). Menstruation is natural blood discharged by the womb at specific times, whereas irregular bleeding is a bloody discharge resulting from an illness.
