What is the sufficient period of ritual dryness to determine the cessation of menstrual bleeding? And are the red bloods that have no color, smell, or thickness considered menstrual blood? And what is the solution for the renewed whispers and thoughts during ablution and prayer?
If a woman's customary sign of purity is dryness, she should not wait for the white discharge. The reverse is also true. However, if her custom is to attain purity with the white discharge, and she experiences dryness, it is recommended for her to wait for the white discharge until the end of the chosen time for prayer. The dryness that is considered valid is when the cloth comes out uncolored by blood. Any reddish-brown discharge (kudrah) or yellowish discharge (sufrah) that appears after purity does not affect it. If blood flow is intermittent during menstruation, the woman should combine the days of bleeding and perform ghusl whenever it stops. Waswas (obsessive whispering) is a trick from Satan, and a Muslim must not succumb to it. The effective cure for it is to completely ignore it, believe that it is a satanic thought, and combat it by seeking refuge in Allah, making supplication (du'a), and remembering Allah, especially by saying: "La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah)."
