The Ruling on Blood That Appears After the Menstrual Cycle Has Ended

The questioner:
If it returns to her after the usual period, for example, if her custom is seven days and she becomes pure, and then after two days or more it comes to her, or a small amount of blood, in such a case, what is the woman commanded to do?

The Shaykh:
She is commanded to consider this as part of the menstruation because her custom has not been completed.

The questioner:
She completed seven days.

The Shaykh:
If her custom regarding the flow of blood has not been completed, but rather she has attained purity, and then blood returns to her after that, and it carries the characteristics of menstruation, such as a foul smell, heat, and darkness, or one of these signs, then it is considered delayed menstruation. However, if it is a small amount of blood, or yellowish discharge, or brownish discharge, and it is outside her custom, then it is not taken into account, as previously mentioned. Yes.
