Ruling on a woman sensing the onset of menstrual blood after performing ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding menstrual blood, does sensing the blood coming out invalidate the ablution? And is she required to do anything regarding entering the sacred precinct?

Answer:
If she knows about it, certainty is required, but doubt is not. As for sensing the blood coming out, this requires a distinction. If she is compelled, there is no blame on her, or if the amount is slight and not menstruation—blood that does not defile the sacred precinct and is not menstruation—there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the blood is menstrual blood, it is obligatory for her to leave, unless she is compelled, in which case she should take precautions and sit until her guardian or guide arrives.
