Summary
In the Shafi'i school, the minimum period of menstruation is one day and one night, meaning blood flows for a total of 24 hours, whether clearly visible or not visible during the fatrah. If the blood flows continuously, the count begins from when it starts until 24 hours are complete. If the blood is intermittent with periods of naqa', the hours of bleeding are added together within a span not exceeding 15 days, and if they reach 24 hours the whole is ruled as menstruation. The amount of blood is not a criterion, and this article is an explanatory piece, not an official position of the Selangor Mufti.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hasil al-istiqrā' (kajian dan pemerhatian)[12] oleh Imam Syafi'i tempoh paling minimum bagi haid ialah sehari semalam iaitu keluar darah sehingga cukup 24 jam[13].
