Summary
A woman who sees blood when about to perform the maghrib prayer, and cannot prove whether it appeared before or after maghrib, is ruled on the basis of the nearest possible time. The blood is considered to have appeared after maghrib. Her fast for that day is valid and she is not required to make it up. This applies because she has passed the minimum 15-day period of purity and is within a period in which menstruation is possible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, penentuan hukum adalah berdasarkan andaian waktu yang paling hampir, iaitu darah itu dianggap keluar selepas waktu maghrib. Puasanya sepanjang siang hari tersebut adalah sah dan puasa tersebut tidak wajib diqada.
