Is it permissible to pray and fast during the days when menstrual bleeding is intermittent (consisting of spotting) for three days, one week before the original due date of the period?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mentioned spotting is considered menstruation under two conditions: that its discharge occurs fifteen days or more after the last period of purity, and that its discharge continues for a day and a night or more. If these conditions are met, then neither prayer nor fasting is permissible or valid.
