If menstruation becomes a regular occurrence, then a woman is considered to be menstruating during the days she sees blood or a brownish discharge, even if it's just one drop. The days when blood and brownish discharge cease are considered days of purity. As for the white discharge after the completion of fifteen days from the onset of menstruation, it is a sign of purity. The maximum duration of menstruation, according to the majority of scholars, is fifteen days.
