Summary
In the Shafi'i school, the minimum period of menstruation is a day and a night and the maximum is 15 days. Blood appearing beyond the maximum period is ruled as istihadah, so prayer remains obligatory. A woman in this state must clean the private area, cover it with a pad, perform ablution for each obligatory prayer and pray promptly after ablution unless there is a valid reason. If the bleeding continues into a new menstrual cycle, it is regarded as menstruation and prayer is left.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Untuk itu, bagi darah yang keluar selepas daripada 15 hari maka ia tidak dikira sebagai darah haid dan solat adalah wajib ditunaikan pada waktu itu.
