Types of Women Without a Regular Menstrual Cycle
Faṭimah: Do women without a regular cycle (meaning irregular bleeding) have similar conditions?
Mother: No, women without a regular cycle are also divided into three categories: Mubtadiʾa, Muḍṭariba, and Nāsiya.
1. Mubtadiʾa: A woman who sees blood for the first time.
2. Muḍṭariba: A woman who has seen blood twice in consecutive months, but those two times were not the same in terms of either time or number of days.
3. Nāsiya: A woman who previously had a regular menstrual cycle but has forgotten either the amount or the time of her cycle, or both.
Faṭimah: So, there are six categories in total!
Mother: Yes, that's correct; and it's important to note that each of these six categories has its own specific rules, and every woman should identify her condition to fulfill her religious duties.
