Summary
A woman who sees blood for the first time, beyond 15 days, and can distinguish its qualities is called a mubtadaah mumayyizah. Strong blood is ruled as menstruation and weak blood as istihadah, provided the conditions of tamyiz are met. Among them, strong blood must last at least 24 hours and not exceed 15 days, while weak blood must last at least 15 days. In the case asked (6 days black, 6 days brownish, 11 days red), Imam al-Ramli holds that only the 6 black days count as menstruation and days 7 to 21 are istihadah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya dikira darah lemah sebagai istihadah dan darah kuat sebagai haid seperti yang dinyatakan dalam Minhaj al-Thalibin:
