AL-KAFI 740 : KELUAR DARAH SEBANYAK DUA KALI SEBULAN
Is blood that appears before 15 days have passed since the end of menstruation, even if 30 days have not passed since its start, considered menstruation or istihadah?
Short answer
In this case, the blood that appeared on 27 and 28 April is istihadah, because it came within the minimum period of purity, which is 15 days after the last menstruation ended.

Summary
In this case, the blood that appeared on 27 and 28 April is istihadah, because it came within the minimum period of purity, which is 15 days after the last menstruation ended. The woman must keep performing obligatory prayers after cleaning the private area, wearing a pad and making ablution, without needing a ritual bath. Once the 15 days ended on 29 April, a new menstrual cycle is considered to have begun, and the blood after that is menstrual blood.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Darah yang keluar pada 27 April sehingga 28 April itu adalah darah istihadah. Ini kerana ia keluar pada waktu sekurang-kurang suci yakni 15 hari.
