Malik stated that if the blood is seen two or three days after the initial purity, it is considered nifas. If the separation between the two bleedings is significant, the second bleeding is considered menstruation (hayd).

For the companions of Al-Shafi'i, there are two differing opinions if she sees blood for one day and one night after fifteen days of purity: one view is that it is menstruation, and the second view is that it is nifas.
