need to ask a question regarding Haidh – menstruation.
Is spotting regarded as haidh. A woman menstruation starts on the 16th of a month. She notices a light brown discharge. Then there is nothing but spots for 16th and the 17th. The full bleeding only starts on the 18th and may last for three or 4 days and than there is spotting again till day 10. Is all 10 days regarded as haidh or only the 4 full days of bleeding. Please note I am part of the hanafi madhab.

Jazakallah in advance.

walaikumassalam dear sister, and thankyou for your query.
 
Gynaecologically, your period/haidh days will be considered as per your routine cycles. If your routine bleeding days are 4, you may ignore the spotting days.
However if you bleed in the similar pattern every month then you will have to consider all ten days as part of your haidh.
 
I am forwarding this to our islamic scholars on this site for their special input and clarification.
 
P.s the Prophet (S.A.W) did not perscribe a seprate set of rules for hanfi or anyother madhab- but only for 1- muslims. 
 
The nuisanse of spotting you mentioned  most likely is due to lack of hormonal support to your ovaries for which you could use norethisterone(progesterone hormone) tablets 5 mg three times a day from day 19 to 26 of your cycle ; or if your cycle is shorter, from day 15 to 21. 
 
Check with your GP/personal doctorwhether you have any medical history which could contraindicate this progesterone hormone for you. 
 
Although progesterone hormone is much safe and has less side effects compared to estrogen hormones. If you do not wish to take hormones regularly though, just take them in the months around Ramadan e.g. for three months keeping the Ramadan in the middle
 
Hope this helps.
 
wassalaam 'n regards
