Bleeding in menopause
Question
If a woman who is going through menopause bleeds for just one day after about 6 months of no haidh, what is the ruling? Can she make ghusal and read salaah or should she wait?
Answer
If there was no bleeding after the first day then there is no need for ghusl.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
