What is the ruling on the blood of a mustahadah who is a mu’tadah mumayyizah, and how are her days of menses and istihadah determined?
Short answer
A mu’tadah mumayyizah is a woman who has previously had menses and purity, remembers her habit from the earlier month, and can distinguish the qualities of blood, but whose current bleeding exceeds 15 days.

Summary
A mu’tadah mumayyizah is a woman who has previously had menses and purity, remembers her habit from the earlier month, and can distinguish the qualities of blood, but whose current bleeding exceeds 15 days. Her ruling follows tamyiz (distinguishing by blood colour) according to the preferred view of the Shafi’i school, even if it differs from her habit. Strong blood is counted as menses and weak blood as istihadah. When three types of blood appear, the strong blood must come first, connect with the weak blood without the weakest blood in between, and together they must not exceed 15 days.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Golongan ini dihukumkan berdasarkan tamyiz menurut pandangan muktamad dalam mazhab Syafi'i sekalipun tamyiznya berbeza dengan adat kebiasaan haid.
