It is stated that if a woman sees blood for three days, it stops, and then returns before the tenth day, all of it is menstruation. If she believed she had become pure after the first three days and her husband had intercourse with her, is anything due from her or her husband? The same question applies to the other acts forbidden to a menstruating woman.

A woman with istihada is normally required to renew wudu for each obligatory prayer. If she performs wudu for the noon prayer and knows that no blood has come out afterward, must she repeat wudu for the afternoon prayer, or is the first wudu sufficient?

In major istihada, is combining two prayers with one ghusl obligatory, or may the woman separate the prayers? If she separates them, must she perform five ghusls? And if no blood comes out after the ghusl for the noon prayer, for example, must she also perform ghusl for the afternoon prayer?
The rulings of istihada state that the cotton should be changed for every prayer. Must it be changed for every prayer even when there is no blood on it?
Al-Shara'i states that when bleeding stops before ten days, a woman checks with cotton; if it comes out clean she performs ghusl, and if it is stained, a woman without an established habit waits until she becomes clean or ten days pass. It then says that a woman with a habit performs ghusl three days after her usual period, and if the bleeding continues to the tenth day and stops she makes up the fasting she performed, while if it exceeds ten days what she performed is sufficient. What does this passage mean?
What is meant by the statement in al-Shara'i that if bleeding continues after the tenth day, then if it has the characteristics of istihada it is istihada, otherwise it is menstruation; if the woman has a fixed numerical habit she menstruates for that number of days, otherwise according to the number of days of the women of her family or seven days; and if bleeding continues she observes three additional days and what follows is istihada?

One of the opponents presented this question to me as an objection to the knowledge of Sayyid Ahmad al-Hasan (peace be upon him): Your Imam says in The Laws of Islam, p. 10, regarding well water, that it becomes impure through contact and that purification is by drawing an amount of water according to what fell into it; for a scorpion, snake, or gecko, between 30 and 70 liters are drawn according to the animal’s size and condition. This, he says, means the gecko is impure. Yet elsewhere, on p. 34 when listing impurities, he says that the gecko is pure, but a small amount of water into which a mouse, rat, or gecko has fallen is not used for drinking or purification, nor is a small amount of water in which a gecko, scorpion, or viper has died. A scorpion, snake, and gecko do not have spurting blood, and if they die in a well they do not make it impure because they are not impure. So why is drawing water from the well required if one dies in it even though it is pure? He calls this an obvious contradiction. My master, we ask you to answer so that this objection may be removed.
