Is the blood that came down on Ramadan 10th considered menstrual blood, and if not, does she fast and pray?
If blood continues for seven days, then stops for seven days, then resumes on the fifteenth day from the beginning of its flow, and then ceases on the sixteenth day, it is considered menses (hayd) according to the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools if this pattern repeats three times. Otherwise, it is considered irregular bleeding (), which does not prohibit fasting or prayer. If we rule that the returning blood is hayd, then regarding the days of purity between the two bleedings, many scholars hold that it is a period of purity during which fasting and prayer are permissible after performing . Others, however, consider it hayd, during which fasting and prayer are not permissible. There is no harm in acting upon either of these two views. If the bleeding extends beyond the sixteenth day, then hayd is only what falls within the days of your regular cycle.
