Irregular bleeding
Question
My haidh is very irregular, so much so that it is extremely difficult to calculate it correctly. When I am not sure as to whether I am experiencing haidh or istihaza, should I continue reading namaaz till I am certain?
Answer
If your haidh is irregular and you bleed for more than 10 days then revert to your most recent proper habit.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
