Summary
Bleeding caused by fibroid surgery that occurs outside the woman's usual menstrual period is treated as istihadah. If it comes during her normal menstrual time, it is considered menstrual blood, provided it does not exceed the maximum length of menstruation. A woman with istihadah must still pray and fast, wash off the blood, wear a pad and perform wudu for each obligatory prayer. If she can distinguish the blood by its characteristics, the conditions of tamyiz apply, and if they are not met she follows her habitual cycle.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami cenderung untuk menyatakan bahawa apabila darah yang keluar adalah kerana pembedahan fibroid dan di luar waktu kebiasaan haid, yakni adat haid, maka darah itu dianggap sebagai darah istihadah.
