Exceeding the Usual Days of Menstruation

The questioner:
A woman who had a customary period before she married or before she gave birth, and then her custom changed and increased by one or two or three days after that. Should she include this increase and follow the first custom? Her custom was six days, then it increased, but after marriage or after childbirth.
The Shaykh:
The apparent meaning of the hadiths is that what is increased is considered irregular non-menstrual bleeding. However, if it increased by one day from the state of the blood she is accustomed to, this is a minor matter. This may occur occasionally as a slight increase.
