Does this count as Haidh or Istihadhaa?

Fatwa 38567English
Menstruation, Purity

Question

I usually get a period every 4 to 6 weeks which lasts for 7-8 days in the month of Ramadan I got a period after 14 days of finishing my last period Is this istehaza or do I count it as a period after 15 days of being clean Jazakallah

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The minimum clean period between two menstrual cycles is 15 days, thus one day will be regarded as istihaadha and the rest of the days will be regarded as haidh.[i]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
