Know that there are three types of blood: menstrual blood, istihaadah blood, and postpartum blood. All of these are specific to women, with no ruling on men. So, consideration in that should be for the soul, for it is mostly feminized, for God said, “The blameworthy soul and the reassured soul,” so He made it feminine, and the heart has no share in this blood, nor does the soul have any share. < /p >
