Summary
In the Shafi'i school, blood appearing after menopause during Umrah or Hajj is treated as menstruation if it lasts more than the minimum of one day and night and does not exceed 15 days. If these conditions are not met, it is istihadah. For a menopausal woman whose bleeding may continue until she returns home, it is permitted to adopt the view that the blood is istihadah, so her prayers and tawaf during that period are valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Darah yang keluar selepas putus haid ketika menunaikan umrah & haji adalah kategori darah haid menurut mazhab Syafi'i sekiranya menepati syarat-syarat haid.
