Sisters! Record your Cycles!

[ummtaalib]

Keeping a record of your menstrual cycle is absolutely essential because many rulings depend on it. It is extremely important to keep a record of the exact time and date when bleeding begins and stops. In cases where habits become irregular and problems arise, it is keeping a record which saves a woman from unnecessary hardship of rulings such as having to perform a Ghusl for every Salaah.

A simple calendar can be quite sufficient though nowadays it is quite easy to keep a record with various apps which are easily available. Attached are different types of charts you can print out.

Ok, one question. If bleeding starts for instance at 6:00 pm then we will count days from that time, right? From 6 pm to 6 pm one day? And then in the days column we will write exact amount of time for example 5 days and 4 hours?

Yes one day is 24 hours so from Monday 6pm to Tuesday 6 pm is one day and yes exact amount should be noted
