I am a woman who suffers from bleeding without being certain whether this blood is a period or a kind of sickness. Can I pray and fast?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger
I advise you to visit a gynecologist who can help you decide whether the blood is because of a period or sickness. Once it is a period, then you have to make up the days of Ramadan when your fasting invalid. However, the prayers are not made up. In contrast, if the blood that you see is not because of menstruation, then your fasting and prayers are valid.
