Rules for Fixed Time and Duration Cycles

Faṭimah: If a woman has a fixed time and duration cycle, and she sees blood at the expected time, what should she do?

Mother: As soon as she sees blood, she should consider it the start of her menstruation and stop performing prayers.

Faṭimah: If a woman has a fixed time and duration cycle, and her period usually lasts seven days, but one month she bleeds for eight or nine days, what should she do?

Mother: She should consider all eight or nine days as menstruation, even if the blood doesn't have the typical signs of menstruation at certain times.

Faṭimah: If a woman has a fixed time and duration cycle of seven days, but one month she bleeds for more than ten days, what should she do?

Mother: She should consider only the blood that appears during her usual cycle days as menstruation, and any bleeding beyond that is classified as Istiḥāḍa.
