The disagreement regarding the maximum duration of menstruation is well-known among scholars. The more preponderant opinion is that its maximum is fifteen days. Whatever a woman sees after the tenth day, be it blood, yellowish discharge, or brownish discharge, that is continuous with the blood, is considered menstruation, as long as the total duration does not exceed fifteen days. There is no blame upon one who follows the Hanafi school of thought on this issue.
