When to Perform Ghusl After Menstruation: Handling Minor Discharge and Ritual Purity
Question: If a woman completes her menstrual cycle and sees a slight discharge afterward, should she change her clothes or perform another ghusl?
Answer: If a woman completes her menstrual cycle and has performed ghusl (ritual purification), any minor discharge afterward, such as a spot or faint color, does not require a full ghusl. She only needs to clean the affected area or change the part of the clothing that is soiled. However, before performing ghusl, she must ensure complete cessation of menstrual blood, including checking for internal dryness if necessary.
