Must a woman whose menstrual bleeding has stopped wait for a period before performing the obligatory bath?

Summary
According to the established view of the Shafi'i school, when bleeding stops within the menstrual period, that interval is ruled as purity, so the woman must perform the obligatory bath and fulfil obligatory acts of worship. The condition is that the bleeding exceeds the minimum and does not surpass the maximum length of menstruation. Where bleeding repeatedly stops and resumes and causes hardship, she may follow, as a personal practice, the opinion that treats the interval as menstruation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pandangan pertama merupakan pandangan muktamad dalam mazhab. Meskipun begitu, harus bagi seseorang individu untuk beramal dengan pandangan Imam al-Rafi'i semata-mata bagi hak peribadinya dalam permasalahan ini[4].
