494. Mudhtaribah is a woman who has seen blood for some months, but did not form a fixed habit. If such a woman sees blood for more than 10 days, and if the nature of blood remains same, if the habit of her relatives is 7 days, she must choose 7 days for Hayz and the rest for Istihaza, and if it is less than that, for example, it is 5 days, then the same period must be her Hayz. As an obligatory precaution, in case of difference between their habits and 7 days limit, which is two days, she should not do what is Haraam for Haaez and act as per Istihaza; in other words, she must perform her worships according to the rules of Mustahaza woman, and if the habit of her relatives is more than 7 days, i.e. it is 9 days, she must consider 7 days as Hayz and as an obligatory precaution, in the period of difference between 7 days and their habit which is two days, she must act as Istihaza and refrain from doing what is Haraam for Haaez
