Why lunar years matter

  • 434 Menarche. A. Sistani sets the threshold at 9 lunar years. Bleeding before that is not classified as hayd.
  • 433 Menopause (yās). A. Sistani sets it at 60 lunar years, for both Sayyida and non-Sayyida women.
  • A. Khamenei. A. Khamenei does not issue a binding ruling on the menopause threshold; he refers muqallids to another mujtahid (rujūʿ) on this question.
  • A. Makarem Shirazi. Per Zubdat al-Aḥkām ISSUE 194: 50 lunar years for both Sayyidah and non-Sayyidah women, except for women counted from the Quraysh tribe, who apply 60 lunar years. The user determines her own Quraysh status.
