Menses and salah
Question
Assalamualaikum,
I used to get my period in 35-40 days but Suddenly I’m having two cycles in a month(since start of this year) but my bleeding habit is same which is 3 days of white with red thread like discharge followed by 1 day of brown discharge which turns into red by evening then 2 days of red heavy discharge after this 2 days of brownish very light discharge then again 2 days white with red-thread like discharge. So total 8-10 days ..I want to ask when should I stop praying and when should I start praying again. … I had my period on 8th of this month (considering 1st day as white with red thread like discharge) and second one on 27th … so how to count days between two cycles? Which days i should count in istahada and which days as my cycle?
Jazakallah khair

Respected sister,
Please provide the start and end dates of your current bleeding, along with the dates of your two previous menstrual cycles, including any spotting or irregular bleeding in between.
In shā Allāh, we will then be able to assist you with your query.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
