LessonsMenstruation: Duration, Worship, Cessation and Intervening PurityQuiz

وَأَقَلُّ الطُّهْرِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا، وَلَا غَايَةَ لِأَكْثَرِهِ.
Meaning: The minimum period of purity between menstrual periods is fifteen days, and there is no fixed maximum.

The fifteen-day minimum applies to purity separating two distinct menstrual periods. It should not be confused with a shorter clean interval within one contested menstrual episode.

There is no fixed upper limit for how long a woman may remain free of menstruation.
