What a woman sees of yellowish discharge during the forty-day period: whatever of it is connected to blood is considered post-natal bleeding (), and whatever is not connected to blood is a matter of scholarly disagreement. And what she sees of blood after the forty-day period is not considered menstruation (hayd) unless it coincides with her regular menstrual cycle.
