Minimum and Maximum Duration of Istiḥāḍa
Faṭimah: What is the minimum and maximum duration of Istiḥāḍa?
Mother: Istiḥāḍa has no minimum or maximum duration.
Types of Istiḥāḍa
Faṭimah: Is the blood of Istiḥāḍa always the same?
Mother: No, there are three types of Istiḥāḍa: Light (Qalīla), Medium (Mutawassiṭa), and Excessive (Kathīra).
Light Istiḥāḍa (Qalila): This is when, upon checking, the blood stains the surface of the cotton only.
Medium Istiḥāḍa (Mutawassiṭa): This is when the blood penetrates into the cotton, even if only in one corner, but does not pass through to the other side and does not reach the sanitary pad.
Excessive Istiḥāḍa (Kathīra): This is when the blood soaks the cotton or penetrates through the cotton and reaches the sanitary pad.
