The appearance of blood after a woman is clean from

menses and has taken a bath ―Shaikh Ibn Bāz

Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid 25 February 2020

What is to be done if there is the appearance of blood after a woman is clean from
menstrual bleeding, and straight after she has taken a bath?

Answer: If there is some yellowish or muddy discharge after she has become pure from
her menstruation, then it does not affect her purity from the menstruation, i.e. she is still
pure. The ruling of this discharge is like urine (it should be cleaned).

If however, the discharge is clearly menstrual blood, then she returns to being in a state of
menses. So when she becomes clean again (which could be a short time later), she must
take a bath (ghusl). This is due to what is established from the Companion, Umm ‘Atiyyah
(may Allah be pleased with her) who said: “We did not consider the yellowish and
muddy discharge after becoming pure from menses to be of any
consequence.”

See Al-Jāmi’ fī Fiqhil-‘Allāmah Ibn Bāz (p. 99).
