Shafaqna English- The book “Islamic Laws of the Female Reproductive Cycle: Menstrual, Postpartum, and Non-Menstrual Bleeding” written by Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani is published by I.M.A.M. publications in 2025.
Islamic Laws of the Female Reproductive Cycle offers a clear and comprehensive guide to the Islamic rules surrounding the female reproductive cycle.
While Islamic laws are universal, women face specific guidelines for menstruation (haydh), non-menstrual bleeding (istihadhah), and post-natal bleeding (nifas).
These conditions can create confusion, especially with daily obligations like prayer and fasting. This easy-to-understand booklet serves as an accessible reference for women on these important matters.
