Question: I, maybe as a perimenopausal symptom, bleed for a few days and then the bleeding stops for a few days. Then it resumes once again. Should I perform salat during such days?
ANSWER
In order for us to be able to answer this question and all questions related to menstruation, for that matter, female questioners should state beforehand how many days of purity and menstruation they experienced the previous month or a few months ago. For example, they may ask their questions like this: Last month I remained pure for 23 days and then bled for 7 days. This month I remained pure for 25 days and then bled for 5 days and did not see blood for 2 days and bled for 3 days.

If a woman bled for more than 10 days the previous month or months, she should state her pattern of menstruation in the most recent month in which she saw bleeding for less than 10 days. Additionally, she should also state the number of her longest period she has so far had, if she imitates the Maliki Madhhab. If the questioners do not inform us about what we have written above, it will be impossible for us to provide them with correct answers.
