Summary
The minimum period of menstruation is 24 hours, a full day and night, based on the research and observation of Imam al-Shafi‘i. It may occur in two forms: blood flowing continuously for 24 hours, or intermittent blood that adds up to 24 hours within a 15-day period. Blood that does not reach 24 hours after being combined is not ruled as menstrual blood, but as abnormal blood similar to istihadah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Darah yang tidak mencukupi 24 jam setelah digabungkan dalam tempoh 15 hari dikenali darah rosak (fasad) seperti dihukumkan darah istihadah.
