Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a divorced woman has passed the age of fifty and is still menstruating, does she observe the waiting period based on menstruation or based on three months?
Answer:
According to the majority, there is no menstruation after the age of fifty. So any blood that comes after fifty is not menstruation, but rather bleeding. This is the stronger position, and it is the one that is followed.
