2 weeks ago, I started on the progesterone only pill. I have a bleed today. I don’t know whether to pray or not. I know people will say it’s ‘withdrawal bleed’ but today, if I wasn’t on the pill, I would of started my periods. Can I have some help and advise on this situation. I don’t want to pray and realise I wasn’t suppose to. Thank you

In reply to Arif.

Aslm Dr Arif,

I am unfortunately one of the progestin only members.
I am 10 months post partum, have not received a period yet, still breast feeding but forgot to take a pill and am now bleeding dark brown/red for more than 3 days now.
I continued to take my pills as usual.

Are you able to advise whether I should be fasting or not? (I did continue my fasting in the meantime to be safe)

I have been on an OCP for a month and now I am now having a very light flow compared to my normal menstrual flow, although it is at the normal time I calculated my period to fall in. Am I supposed to pray during this period?

I was on mirena for almost 6mths. My menses has been irregular. I intend to perform my Umrah. I was told to take tablet Provera 20mg to stop my menses. I got my break through bleeding after 23 days with Provera. Can I perform Umrah.

I took the ‘Morning after Pill’ and one of the side effects is Menstrual Changes, which will cause some bleeding, which is want I am suffering from. I am unsure whether I am able to continue during the duration of bleeding or is it regarded as ‘impure’ bleeding/Period. The bleeding is light but continous. As I am unsure I have been washing thoroughly and refreshing my wudu for each salah.

Can you advise if i am impure and should not be praying or to continue on as normal. I also wanted to perform some voluntary fasts – as my logic is, if i can pray and should be able to fast too???

So if I’m on the pill and I get breakthrough bleeding in between my “periods” does it count as istahadah? The blood is dark but it is just spotting, not very heavy, only need to wear a panty liner. Also can I have sex whilst bleeding in between periods? Sorry for too much info.

OK I have often heard of people running pill packs together or missing out the placebo ones to avoid a bleed to for example not miss fasing or go on hajj etc… if it’s not considered a real period then that wouldn’t be necessary? You would be bleeding for 7 days and worshipping as usual…
