Answer

In the name of Allah, the Inspirer of truth

According to the Hanafi school, the legal age of menopause is 55 lunar years (53 solar years and 4 months). Prior to this age, any coloured discharge seen in the habitual days of bleeding is considered menstruation (hayd). Please refer to the article on ‘Menopause’ for more information.

You may send us the dates of the previous 3-4 menstrual cycles for a more detailed answer.

And Allah knows best.
