Istihada, nifas and special cases

This second part on the rulings of menstruation (hayd), faithfully translated from the al-Mawsua al-fiqhiyya juristic encyclopedia, completes the questions specific to the menstruating woman and then covers postpartum bleeding (nifas) and chronic abnormal bleeding (istihada). It successively examines attaining the fast, the tawaf, Quran recitation, touching the mushaf, marital intimacy, the use of medicine, miscarriage, and the rulings for the woman with istihada. Each position is attributed to its school exactly as the source attributes it, with references to classical works and the verdicts of hadith specialists.
