If a woman sees purity (cessation of bleeding) during her menstrual period and then the bleeding resumes, she should combine the days of bleeding, one after another, and perform ghusl (ritual bath) each time the bleeding stops. If her habitual period is eight days, and she sees purity on the sixth day, she should perform ghusl and pray. If the bleeding then resumes, it is considered menstruation as long as the total duration of bleeding and purity does not exceed fifteen days.
