Question

A female has a period more than ten days does she have to take bath and pray salah on the eleventh day Fajar or tenth day fajr?please reply with reference.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

A woman will calculate ten days from the time the first discharge of the menstrual blood in terms of hours of the day (240 hours); e.g. she began bleeding on the first of the month at 1:00pm, thus after the elapse of 10 full days she will perform ghusl and perform salāh after 1:00pm (corresponding to the 11th day of the month).
