The continuation of blood beyond the known menstruation period is considered (non-menstrual bleeding), which necessitates performing (ritual bath), prayer, and fasting. Its cause may be an organic disease, as in the Prophet's saying to Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh: "That is merely a vein, and not menstruation," or it may be due to the influence of Satan, as in the of Hamnah bint Jahsh: "It is but a kick from Satan." The treatment involves reliance on Allah, seeking refuge from Satan, persistent recitation of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and seeking lawful medical treatment.
