QUESTION 1 : 
2 months after delivering a child and breast feeding, a lady experiences
some bleeding which is not normal for her menses. This change I suppose is to
be expected due to hormonal imbalance.
What is the ruling in this case?

ANSWER:
If it cannot be Haydh, it will have to be Istihadha. As to the degree of
Istihadha, the lady will have to determine it herself.

			------------------------------

QUESTION 2:

Should it be treated as haydh or istihadha(she has recovered from Nifaas)?

ANSWER:

I say it cannot be Haydh because you specify that it is not her menses.

			------------------------------

QUESTION 3:

In either case, please elaborate on masaail of taharat and prayers etc
according to the rulings of A.Seestani(AM).

ANSWER 3:

The rule of a Mustahaadha will apply. Depending on whether it is little,
medium or excessive, she will have to perform either wudhu before every
prayer (as in the case of little) or one ghusl every day before Fajr
prayers (as in the case of medium) or perform a ghusl everytime she stands
up to pray totalling to three ghusl for the day (as in the case of
excessive). For details refer to the Resala of Ayatullah Seestani which has
detailed everything.

			-----------------------------
QUESTION 4:

Is conjugal union allowed in Istihadha

ANSWER 4:

There is no problem.....
