What is the ruling on the purity (tahara) and prayer of a woman experiencing intermittent bleeding if the cessation of blood is brief and does not allow for purification and prayer?
Chapter on Menstruation
Al-Mughni
Book of Purification
Primary text
If a woman with a pattern of menstrual cessation has a brief interruption of bleeding that does not allow time for purification and prayer, and she performs ablution (wudu) during this interval, her purification and any prayer performed during it are not invalidated. This is because the brief cessation does not serve the necessary purpose (for establishing purity).
