Question
Asak. I had caesarian 5 months back and got periods without pause and i m feeding.. i see tiny dry blood particles outside periods with dryness. Not immediately after periods but after a week or so...also my last period came after 2 months n lasted for more than usual cycle. Before delivery i used to see them 3-4 prior to onset of regular cycle, along with white discharge and i stopped salah. N it did again happned with last period also. Now i m again seeing tiny dry blood particles (jus a week ago periods stopped) And stopped salah. Is this considered as periods?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
However, if it is not possible for them to be considered as menses, that is, if their duration added to the regular period of bleeding and the time of purity in between exceeds 15 days, then in that case, you are considered as having blood outside your monthly periods (Istihaadhah), so you should count the days of your regular period and whatever exceeds that as extra-menstrual bleeding (Istihaadhah), which is not an impediment for fasting and praying.
On the other hand, if the bleeding continues throughout the entire time that it is permissible for you to pray – when you have bleeding outside your monthly period – then you should perform Wudhoo' when the time of each prayer starts, and with the effect of this ablution, you pray one obligatory prayer and however many voluntary prayers that you wish until the time of that prayer is over.
For more benefit on menses and bleeding outside your monthly regular menses, please refer to Fataawa 129256 and 121505.
Allaah Knows best.
