(Surah Baqara, Verse222) THE WISDOM OF HAIZ There is excessive blood naturally present in baaligh women for it to bec'ome sustenance for the child in the womb when they are pregnant. This very blood turns to milk during the child's mi1k feeding period and if this blood did not exist then pregnancy and milk feeding would be unimaginable. In the period when there is no pregnancy or breast feeding, if this does not come out, then various sicknesses would be contracted. MASAAIL REGARDING HAIZ Rule- Haiz is blood that naturally comes from a baalighwoman's vagina and whose emergence is not due to sickness or after child birth. Blood that comes out due to sickness and after child birth is known as istihaaza and nifaas respectively.(General Books) Rule- The minimum period ofhaiz is three days and nights (72 hours). Even if one minute is less from this minimum time then it will not be considered as haiz: Haiz's maximumperiod is 1 0 days andnights. Rule- A complete day ofhaiz is counted in the following manner: ifhaiz begins at 9 amthenone day will be completed at 9 amthenext day. 33
