Ruling on irregular bleeding and sexual relations, permissible or not?
Irregular bleeding is when you have bleeding that is not part of your normal menstrual cycle. Let's say a common scenario that the menstrual cycle is ongoing. What you would do is you would wait 10 days. After the 10th day of bleeding Islamically any blood that comes out is known as irregular bleeding. What you would do is you take a ghusl after the ghusl you would then take a new wudu for each salah. You would pray as normal fast as normal have marriage relations as normal even though you're bleeding because it's considered to be irregular bleeding istihadha. And the similar type of ruling would also apply after maybe certain medical procedures where it's not necessarily a period but it is irregular bleeding. That's what you would do after 10 days have passed take a ghusl once and then for every salah you would do a new wudu prior to it and you could continue as you normally would in terms of reciting Quran in terms of marriage relations and so on.
