The signs of purity from menstruation are dryness or the white discharge. Dryness means the place is dry when a cotton swab is inserted, with no trace of blood, yellowish discharge, or brownish discharge, and the presence of normal secretions does not matter. As for the white discharge (al-qassah al-bayda'), it is a white fluid that emerges after menstruation, resembling plaster water, dough water, or semen, and it varies according to women and circumstances. If a woman sees one of these two signs, ritual bathing () becomes obligatory upon her.
