عن كتاب Natural Blood of Women:
All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His help and forgiveness. We return to
Him alone in repentance, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and
from our wrong deeds. Whosoever Allah guides there is none who can misguide, and
whosoever Allah misguides there is none who can guide. I bear witness that there is
no god worthy of being worshipped except Allah Who is free from any partners or
associates. I bear witness that Muhammad is the true slave and messenger of Allah
(subhaanahu wa ta'aala ) may Allah's salaah and salaam () be upon him.
It is common that there are three types of menses among women:
1) Menstrual Period,
2)Istihadah: bleeding from the womb between women periods, and
3) Nifass (post-delivery).
The explanations of these matters in accordance with the evidences from Qur'an and
Sunnah is very important and beneficial, because:
a) the Qur'an and Sunnah represent the only sources for all of the Decrees of Allah.
b) in referring to these sources one achieves a state of peace, comfort and relaxation
as well as relief for having the requirements of worship (in this case purification from
menses) made known.
c) any other reference lacks the quality of perfection of the proofs of the Qur'an and
Sunnah.

Next in reference, are the verified sayings of the scholars amongst the Sahabah
(companions of the Prophet (1)) as long as they are not in conflict with any thing in
the Qur'an or Sunnah. In case there is a contradictory saying by another Sahabi, then
verification for the most substantiated proofs closest to evidences from Qur'an and
Sunnah is sought. This is in confirmation to the saying of Allah ():
{

"If you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His
Messenger (), if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is best, and
more suitable for final determination."(Qur'an 4: 59)
With the above in mind, a summarized letter explaining the Islamic Laws regarding
menses is presented here.
