Is menstrual blood to be thrown in the trash, or must it be burned?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
First, the menstrual blood should be buried in a place where it is concealed, so that people are not bothered by it. There is no harm in disposing of it in the trash or a well, or similar places. Nothing has been reported to indicate an obligation to burn it with fire.
