Minimum Interval Between Two Menstrual Periods
Faṭimah: What is the usual interval between two menstrual periods?
Mother: The interval between one menstrual period and the next should not be less than ten days.
Faṭimah: For example, if a woman experiences menstruation for seven days and then becomes clean, but after five or six days sees blood again, what is the ruling?
Mother: Since the interval between two menstrual periods cannot be less than ten days, the second blood cannot be considered menstruation but is instead ruled as Istiḥāḍa.
