If a woman sees blood after fifteen days from the cessation of the previous bleeding, it is a new menstrual period. However, if she sees it less than thirteen days after the cessation of the previous bleeding, and the total duration of both bleedings exceeds fifteen days, then it is irregular bleeding (istihada).
