The details of the scholars' opinions regarding the minimum duration of menstruation considered legally valid were previously elaborated in no. 48017, and the preponderant opinion is that its minimum is a day and a night. Accordingly, the appearance of a drop of blood only in the morning, while the rest of the day a white discharge appears or nothing appears, is not considered menstruation by the majority of scholars, because its total duration did not reach a day and a night.
