Have questions about menstruation? Confused about haydnifas and istihada? Do you apply the 10-15 rule when blood is continuous or is this incorrect? Many women have problems during their menstruation and need assistance. 

This course will help you gain clarity and understanding of how to differentiate between hayd and istihada. Salat, fasts, and many other sacred laws depend on whether the blood is hayd, nifas or istihada. The course will empower you to identify these different types of blood correctly.

Are you one that is passionate about helping others? If so, this course aims to create mastery and specialisation in this field and develops the ability and expertise to assist others. It also provides a platform to network with other specialists for consultation and guidance. ‘Allama Ibn ‘Abidin’s commentary on Imam Birgivi’s detailed menstruation manual (Dhukhr al-Muta’ahhilin) will be fully covered, including the mutahayyira section.

It aims to provide a solid understanding of menstruation issues and is well-suited for those who have found the subject elusive and challenging to comprehend fully. Especially recommended for ‘alimas.
