Women having the habit of time only
493. Women having the habit of time are of three types:
For example, if the blood is seen on the 1st day of each of the two consecutive months but the total duration of days is 8 in the 1st month and 9 in the 2nd month, she should treat the 1st of the month to be her habit of time.
494. If a woman who has the habit of time, sees blood on her habitual time or two days earlier, even if that blood does not bear the signs of Hayz, she will treat herself as Haa'ez, and act according to the rules mentioned for Haa’ez, but if she becomes certain that she was not in the state of Hayz, for example, the bleeding stops before three days, it is necessary on her to offer Qadha for obligatory acts of worship (Ibadaat).
495. If a woman with the fixed habit of time sees blood on her habitual time for more than 10 days and if she is unable to determine the exact duration of Hayz from its signs, then she will follow the habit of her paternal or maternal relatives, irrespective of whether they are living or dead; provided that number of days of habit of all of them is equal and if the number of days differ from each other, for example, some of them have a habit which lasts for 5 days and some other have the habit which lasts for 7 days, in this situation she cannot follow the habit of her relatives, except if the number of the relatives whose duration of habit differ from others is very few in contrary to others, then she should follow the habit of those relatives who make the majority. However, as per obligatory measures, the woman who follows the habit of her relatives, if the habit of her relatives is less than 7 days, then after the end of the habit till the 7th day, it is necessary for her to refrain from the acts which are forbidden for Haa'ez and to perform the obligations of a Mustahadha. Similarly, if the habit of her relatives is more than 7 days, then from 7th day till the end of habit she should follow the rules mentioned above.
496. A woman with fixed habit of time, who follows her relatives in number of days of habit, she should consider the day of commencing her period as her 1st day. For example, if her commencing time is fixed on the first of every month, with a varying duration of seven or eight days, and then suddenly she sees blood for twelve days, and the habit of her relatives is 7 days, then for the first 7 days she will be classified as Haa’ez and for the remaining days she will be classified as Mustahadha.
497. If a woman with a fixed habit of time, who should follow her relatives in number of days, does not have any relative, or the number of habitual days of her relatives vary from each other, then each month from the day of commencement of period till six or seven days the blood discharged will be considered as Hayz, and the remaining days the blood discharged will be considered as Istihadha. As per precautionary measures, it is better that whatever number of days she considered as
Hayz in the first month she should consider the same number of days for the next month. If the habit of a woman with a fixed habit of time, is in the middle or at the end of blood discharge, she should consider the six or seven days of the middle or end of blood discharge as Hayz.
