The ruling on a small amount of menstrual blood on a garment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the small amount of blood, the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was reported, in which she said:
None of us had more than a single garment and we used to have our menses while wearing it. Whenever it got soiled with blood of menses we used to apply saliva to the blood spot and rub off the blood with our nails.ما كان لإحدانا إلا ثوب واحد تحيض فيه، فإذا أصابه شيء من دم قالت بريقها فقصعته بظفرها
Sahih al-Bukhari 312
. They said: If it had been impure, her saliva would not have purified it, and her nail would have become impure from it.

The Shaykh:
In any case, the proof is in the hadith, which is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). As for what Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) did, that is from her independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), so we act according to the hadith.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the blood that comes out of the human body like…?

The Shaykh:
The author, as you know, pointed out that it indicates that a small amount of menstrual blood is like a large amount, perhaps to respond to this fatwa.
