There is no minimum limit for the period of purity between two menstrual cycles. Rather, whenever a woman sees the black, malodorous, well-known menstrual blood, she must cease fasting and praying, provided that the total duration of menstruation does not exceed half a month (fifteen days). As for yellowish or brownish discharge after purity, it is not considered menstruation and does not share its rulings.
