Bleeding after five years
Question
My period stopped 5 years ago and today after 5 years I started bleeding. Do I regard this as my period?
Answer
If the bleeding continues for three days or more, then it will be regarded as haidh. If it stops before three days, it will be regarded as istihaazah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
