Answer
According to the Hanafi Madhab, the minimum number of days for menstruation is three and the maximum is ten. In other words, minimum is 72 hours and maximum is 240 hours.
The minimum for Tuhr (purity) is fifteen days and there is no limitations on the maximum.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
