AL-KAFI #1682 : DARAH HAID PADA TUALA
Must prayers be made up if menstrual blood is found on a towel that has been used several times and it is unknown when the blood appeared?
Short answer
If a person is unsure when the blood got onto the towel, it is taken to have appeared after the prayers, at the time closest to when it was noticed, so the prayers need not be made up.

Summary
If a person is unsure when the blood got onto the towel, it is taken to have appeared after the prayers, at the time closest to when it was noticed, so the prayers need not be made up. If the person is certain the prayers were performed while impure, the amount of blood is judged by custom. A small amount is excused and no make-up is needed based on the hadith of Aisha RA, while a large amount requires the prayers to be made up.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika tidak yakin bilakah darah itu wujud pada tuala, maka boleh ditakwil bahawa darah itu wujud selepas solat, yakni pada waktu yang paling dekat dengan waktu pengetahuan wujudnya darah itu.
