Summary
The minimum duration of menstruation is a full day and night, or 24 hours. Blood that appears as a spot or two with discharge and does not reach this duration, perhaps lasting only minutes, is not menstrual blood but fasad blood (istihadah). This ruling applies if the woman has checked with cotton and found no trace of blood. For such a very small amount, she should wash off the impurity, perform ablution and pray.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan fakta dalam soalan di atas, darah yang keluar setitik dua dengan keputihan, serta tidak cukup jumlahnya keluarnya sehari semalam dan mungkin hanya beberapa minit, bukanlah darah haid, bahkan adalah darah fasad.
