Is it permissible for me to adopt the view of those who permit waiting a day and a half after seeing dryness during menstruation, due to the hardship involved in frequent ghusl?

It is permissible for a menstruating woman, when her bleeding stops and she sees dryness during her usual period, to wait half a day or more than a day, especially if there is hardship, which is what Ibn Qudamah preferred. However, the preponderant and authoritative opinion is that (ritual bath) becomes obligatory as soon as she sees dryness; based on the statement of Ibn Abbas: "It is not permissible for her, when she sees purity for an hour, except to perform ghusl." There is no statement from any scholar permitting waiting a day and a half after the bleeding stops.
