Women’s Hayd (menses) Stops, Comes Again and the Time of Menopause

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman whose Hayd (menses) stops for years and it comes back again. He (the Imam) said, ‘She must not perform Salah (prayer) until she is Hayd (menses) free.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Menopause happens at the age of fifty. 5 It is also narrated that it is at the age of sixty.”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When a woman becomes fifty years old, she does not see anything red (experience Hayd (menses)) unless she is from Quraysh.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Menopause happens at the age of fifty years.”’
